Dinesh sold his motorcycle to Naveen at a loss of 28%. Naveen spent Rs. 1680 on its repairs and sold the motorcycle to Saran for Rs. 35910 making a profit of 12.5%. Find the cost of the motorcycle for Dinesh?

Let CP of Dinesh motorcycle be x


Dinesh sold his motorcycle at


Selling Price of Dinesh = Rs. 0.72 x


CP of Naveen motorcycle = 0.72x + 1680


And he sells Saran by gaining 12.5% profit


So,




(34230 – 0.72x) × 100 = 12.5 × (0.72x + 1680)


3423000 – 72x = 9x + 21000


3402000 = 81x



x = Rs. 42000
