Correct Answer - Option 2 : 179.52
Given:
Shakti bought a pizza for Rs. 230 and sold it to Raghav for Rs. 160.
Raghav then sold to Dharmesh earning a profit of 32%.
Dharmesh sold the pizza to Remo and incurred a loss of 15%.
Formula Used:
Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price
Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price
Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost Price) x 100
Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100
Calculation:
Cost price of pizza for shakti = Rs. 230
Cost price of pizza for Raghav = Rs. 160
Cost price for Dharmesh = Rs. (160 × 132%) = Rs. 211.2
Cost price for Remo = Rs. (211.2 × 85%) = Rs. 179.52
∴ Remo purchased the pizza at Rs. 179.52
