Expert Answer
Please ask only 1 question in a query. Please find the answer to your first question below. To determine the solution of the remaining 2 questions, please post them again in 2 separate queries.
1. Let CP = x
Hence, overheads = 0.1x
Total CP = 1.1x
Marked price = CP+ 20% of CP = 1.1x + 0.2*1.1x = 1.32x
Discount = 10% on Marked price = 0.132x
Hence, Selling price = 1.32x - 0.132x = 1.188x
Hence, 595 = 1.188x
x = Rs 500.841
hence profit = SP - Total CP = 595 - (1.1*500.841) = Rs. 44.075
