The price of a jewel, passing through three hands, rises on the whole by 65%. If the first and second sellers earned 20% and 25% profit respectively, then find the percentage of profit earned by the third seller.
A10 ✓ Correct
B15
C20
D30
Answer: A
Explanation
★Take the starting price as 100. After 20 percent it becomes 120, after 25 percent it becomes 150, and the overall rise of 65 percent makes it 165. So the third seller multiplies 150 to reach 165, which is a rise of 10 percent.
