Question

A farmer buys a tractor for rs.70000 and after using it for some time, he sells it at a loss of 5% to another farmer. He also sells it after an year to the third farmer at a loss of 10%. Find the price paid by the third farmer. ​

Answer 1

• Total loss %=10+5=15%

• CP=70000
• loss%=15%

Now

Loss:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 15\%\:of\:70000$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{15}{100}(70000)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 10500$

Again

$\\ \sf\longmapsto SP=CP-Loss$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto SP=70000-10500$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto SP=59500$

Third farmer will pay 59500

Answer 2

Answer:

The 3rd farmer will pay ₹ 59,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P of the tractor = ₹70,000

Now,

Percentage of Loss suffered by the farmer after selling it to another farmer = 5%

Percentage of Loss suffered by the 2nd farmer while selling it to the 3rd farmer = 10%

Therefore,

$total \: loss \: suffered \: by \: them = 10\% + 5\%$

$= 15\%$

Therefore,

Amount of loss suffered by both the farmers

$= 15\% \: of \: 70000$

$= \frac{15}{100} \times 70000$

$= 15 \times 700$

$= 10500$

Now,

Therefore,

Price paid by the 3rd farmer to buy the tractor = C.P - loss

$= 70000 - 10500$

$= 59500$

So the 3rd farmer will pay ₹59500 to buy the tractor.

Hope it helps you!!
