A sells an article to B at 15% profit. B sells it to C at 10% loss. If C pays Rs. 517.50 for it then A purchased it at
Selling price (SP) , Cost price (CP), Profit (P)
SP of A = 115
CP of B = 115
let original price for A be x
A sold item at 15% profit
Cost for B = 1.15x sold at 10% loss
Cost for C = $$ 0.9(1.15x) $$
C paid 517.5
517.5 = 0.9(1.15x)
$$ x = \frac{517.5}{0.9 \times 1.15} = 500 $$
