Arvind bought an article for ₹x. He sold it to Biru at a loss of 19%. Biru spent ₹166 on its transportation and sold it to Minu at a profit of 35%. If Minu bought it for ₹1,755, then what is the value of x?
1,400
Arvind sold the article to Biru at a loss of 19%, so Biru's purchase price = 0.81x.
Biru's total cost price = 0.81x + 166.
Biru sold it at a profit of 35%, so Minu's price = 1.35 × (0.81x + 166) = 1755.
0.81x + 166 = \(\frac{1755}{1.35}\) = 1300, so 0.81x = 1134.
x = \(\frac{1134}{0.81}\) = 1400.
Hence, the answer is 1,400.
