a sells a bicycle to b and makes a profit of 60 % . b sells the same bicycle to c at a profit of 25 % . if the final s . p . of the bicycle was rs . 225 , find out the cost price of the bicycle for a .
"explanation : let cp be 100 a sells at 60 % profit so sp = 160 b sells at 25 % profit = 160 x ( 1 + 25 / 100 ) = 200 cp sp 100 - - - 200 x - - - 225 cp = 225 x 100 / 200 = 112.5 answer : e"
divide(divide(225, divide(add(const_100, 25), const_100)), divide(add(60, const_100), const_100))
