มาแก้ปัญหาทีละขั้น:

  1. นาย A ซื้อสร้อยราคา 2,000 บาท
  2. นาย B ซื้อต่อโดยลด 20% จากราคาเดิม
    • ราคาที่นาย B ซื้อ = 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 1,600 บาท
  3. นาย C ซื้อต่อโดยลด 10% จากราคาที่นาย B ซื้อ
    • ราคาที่นาย C ซื้อ = 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,440 บาท
  4. คำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่าราคาเดิม
    • ส่วนต่าง = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 บาท
    • เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่า = (560 ÷ 2,000) × 100 = 28%
{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท (Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht)

  2. นาย B ซื้อต่อจากนาย A โดยค่าทุน 20% (Mr. B buys from Mr. A at 20% below cost)

    • นาย B จ่าย = 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 บาท
  3. นาย C ซื้อต่อจากนาย B โดยค่าทุน 10% (Mr. C buys from Mr. B at 10% below cost)

    • นาย C จ่าย = 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 บาท
  4. เปรียบเทียบราคาที่นาย C จ่ายกับนาย A:

    • ส่วนต่าง = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 บาท
    • เปอร์เซ็นต์ส่วนต่าง = (560 ÷ 2,000) × 100 = 28%

ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let's analyze this problem step by step.

  1. นาย A (Mr. A) buys a necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B (Mr. B) for an additional 20% of the cost.
    • So Mr. B pays 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C (Mr. C) for an additional 10% of the cost.
    • So Mr. C pays 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.

Actually, let me double-check my understanding because there might be some confusion about "โดยค่าทุน 20%" (by cost 20%) and "โดยค่าทุน 10%" (by cost 10%).

Wait, I think I might have misunderstood. Let me try to interpret this differently.

  1. นาย A (Mr. A) buys a necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B (Mr. B) with a 20% markup on the cost.
    • So Mr. B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C (Mr. C) with a 10% markup on the cost.
    • So Mr. C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But actually, there's yet another interpretation. Let me try once more:

  1. นาย A (Mr. A) buys a necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B (Mr. B) at a price of 20% more than the cost.
    • So Mr. B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C (Mr. C) at a price of 10% more than his cost.
    • So Mr. C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

This actually gives the same result as the second interpretation, and I think it's the most likely interpretation of the problem.

So, นาย C (Mr. C) pays 2,640 baht for the necklace.

The problem asks for how much less, in percentage, นาย C pays compared to นาย A.

But wait, นาย C actually pays more than นาย A, not less. So there might be another misunderstanding.

Let me re-evaluate the problem. It's possible that the markup isn't being applied correctly, or there's a translation issue.

Let's try yet another interpretation:

  1. นาย A (Mr. A) buys a necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B (Mr. B) at a 20% discount from his cost.
    • So Mr. B pays 2,000 * (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C (Mr. C) at a 10% discount from his cost.
    • So Mr. C pays 1,600 * (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

With this interpretation, นาย C pays 1,440 baht, which is 560 baht less than the 2,000 baht that นาย A paid.

In percentage terms, the discount is: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 560 / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

Another way to calculate this is: 1 - (1,440 / 2,000) = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28 = 28%.

So, นาย C buys the necklace for 28% less than นาย A.

Let me double-check this result to verify it's correct.

If นาย A buys for 2,000 baht. If นาย B buys at a 20% discount: 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht. If นาย C buys at a 10% discount from นาย B's price: 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A is: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This appears to match option D in the given choices.

Wait, let me try once more to make sure I've understood the problem correctly, because there were multiple ways to interpret it.

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท - Mr. A buys a necklace valued at 2,000 baht. ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% - Sells it to Mr. B at a price that's 20% above the cost. และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% - And then Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a price that's 10% above his cost.

With this interpretation:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B for 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C for 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But if I interpret it this way, นาย C pays more than นาย A, not less. So there's a discrepancy.

Let me re-read the question more carefully: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" - Find by what percentage Mr. C buys the necklace at a lower price than Mr. A.

Given the way the question is phrased, it does seem like นาย C should be paying less than นาย A. So, I'll go with the interpretation that both นาย A and นาย B are giving discounts, not markups.

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A is: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Actually, let me read the problem statement more carefully one more time. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" seems to mean "at a cost of 20%" or "with a cost of 20%". This could either mean a 20% increase or a 20% decrease. Given the context of the problem and the phrasing of the question, it seems more likely that it's a discount (a decrease), not a markup (an increase).

So, my interpretation is:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A is: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Actually, let's consider that there may be more ways to interpret the phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%". This could mean:

  1. Selling at a 20% markup over the cost.
  2. Selling at a 20% discount from the cost.
  3. Selling at a price such that the cost is 20% of the selling price (which would mean the selling price is 5 times the cost).

Given the context and the presence of options, I think interpretation 2 makes the most sense.

Let's double-check: If นาย A buys for 2,000 baht and sells at a 20% discount, นาย B pays 1,600 baht. If นาย B sells at a 10% discount, นาย C pays 1,440 baht. Comparing 1,440 to 2,000, นาย C pays (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28% less.

So, option D: "28" seems to be the correct answer.

Actually, let me think about this with my knowledge of Thai langauge. Maybe "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means "by adding 20% to the cost". In that case:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht (this is the original cost).
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B by adding 20% to the original cost, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C by adding 10% to his cost, so นาย C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But if I interpret it this way, นาย C pays more than นาย A, not less, which contradicts the question.

Maybe the question is asking about how much more นาย C pays compared to นาย A. Let's see: (2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000 * 100% = 32%.

None of the options match this.

Let me try to understand the Thai phrase "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%". The phrase "ต่อมูลค่า" seems to suggest adding value, which would be a markup. But the phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" could be interpreted in multiple ways.

Actually, I think "ต่อมูลค่า" might refer to "reselling" rather than "adding value". And "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "at a 20% profit" or "with a 20% profit".

So:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% profit, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% profit, so นาย C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But again, this would mean นาย C pays more than นาย A, which contradicts the question.

Let's think about it differently. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "with a cost of 20%" in the sense that the cost is 20% of the selling price. This would mean:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B such that 2,000 baht (the cost) is 20% of the selling price. So, the selling price would be 2,000 / 0.20 = 10,000 baht. (This seems unlikely, given the context.)
  3. Similarly, นาย B would sell to นาย C for 10,000 / 0.10 = 100,000 baht. (This is even more unlikely.)

This interpretation gives results that are too extreme and don't align with the provided options.

Hmm, let's try to think more about the Thai phrasing. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "with a cost reduction of 20%" or "at a 20% discount".

So:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Hold on, I realized that there might be yet another interpretation. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" could mean "with a cost of 20%" in the sense that the selling price is 80% of the cost. This would mean:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B for 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C for 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

This gives the same result as the previous interpretation, which is a 28% discount for นาย C compared to นาย A.

However, I'm also considering that the phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might be a reference to a "cost-plus" pricing strategy, where the seller adds a percentage to the cost to determine the selling price. In this context, it could mean:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A adds 20% to the cost (a markup), so นาย B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B adds 10% to the cost (also a markup), so นาย C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But this interpretation would mean นาย C pays more than นาย A, which contradicts the question.

Given all these considerations, the interpretation that seems most consistent with the question and the provided options is:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Actually, wait...let me try to make sure I fully understand the problem statement.

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท": Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%": Then Mr. A sells it to Mr. B with a 20% profit. "และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%": And then Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% profit.

With this interpretation:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B for 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C for 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

Now, the question asks: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" - Find by what percentage Mr. C buys the necklace at a lower price than Mr. A.

But here's the confusion: If my interpretation is correct, นาย C is actually buying the necklace at a higher price than นาย A, not a lower price.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the phrase "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%". Let me try to break it down: "ต่อมูลค่า" - to continue the value, or to transfer the value. "ต่อให้นาย B" - to sell to Mr. B. "โดยค่าทุน 20%" - at a cost of 20%.

The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" is the ambiguous part. It could mean:

  1. Selling at a 20% markup over the cost.
  2. Selling at a 20% discount from the cost.
  3. Selling at a price where the cost represents 20% of the selling price.

Given the context and the phrasing of the question, it seems like it should be a discount, not a markup. If it's a discount, then:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Actually, I think I need to address one more possible interpretation. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" could also refer to a profit of 20%, as in "with a profit of 20%". In business, this is common.

But then, the question would contradict the scenario, as I've pointed out. So, I'm leaning toward the discount interpretation.

Let me ensure I'm not missing anything. The problem states: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" - Find by what percentage Mr. C buys the necklace at a lower price than Mr. A.

This explicitly states that นาย C buys at a LOWER price than นาย A. Given this, my interpretation must be that they are selling at discounts, not markups.

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

I'm going with the answer D: 28%.

But actually, I think I was right the first time. If Mr. A buys for 2,000, that doesn't mean he sells for 2,000. He might have bought it at a cost of 2,000 and then sells at a markup or at a discount.

Let me reconsider this problem once more. The problem states:

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" - Mr. A buys a necklace valued at 2,000 baht. "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" - He sells it to Mr. B, with the cost being 20% (of something). "และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%" - And then Mr. B sells it to Mr. C, with the cost being 10% (of something).

The confusion is in the phrase "โดยค่าทุน X%". This could be interpreted in different ways:

  1. "ค่าทุน" refers to the cost price, and the X% refers to the markup added to the cost.

    • This would mean Mr. A sells to Mr. B for 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
    • Mr. B sells to Mr. C for 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.
  2. "ค่าทุน" refers to the cost price, and the X% refers to the discount from the cost.

    • This would mean Mr. A sells to Mr. B for 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
    • Mr. B sells to Mr. C for 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.
  3. "ค่าทุน X%" might mean the cost is X% of the selling price.

    • This would mean the selling price for Mr. B would be 2,000 / 0.20 = 10,000 baht (which seems unreasonably high).

Given the context and the phrasing of the question, which states that Mr. C buys at a LOWER price than Mr. A, it suggests that interpretation 2 is the correct one.

So:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

But is that really the right interpretation?

Let's think once more. If "ค่าทุน" refers to the cost price, then the phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "at a 20% profit over the cost". This is a common way to price items in retail businesses.

So:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht (this is his cost).
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% profit, which means นาย B pays 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B's cost is now 2,400 baht. He sells it to นาย C at a 10% profit, which means นาย C pays 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But this interpretation would mean นาย C pays more than นาย A, not less, which contradicts the question.

Actually, let me try a different approach. Let's think about how the necklace's value might be decreasing over time:

  1. Initially, the necklace is worth 2,000 baht, and นาย A buys it at this price.
  2. When นาย A sells it to นาย B, it's worth only 80% of its initial value (due to wear, or it being second-hand, etc.). So, นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. When นาย B sells it to นาย C, it's worth only 90% of its value when นาย B bought it. So, นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

This interpretation is consistent with the question's implication that นาย C buys the necklace at a lower price than นาย A.

So, the correct answer is D: "28".

Actually, I realized there's something unusual about the phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%". If "ค่าทุน" refers to the cost, then "โดยค่าทุน 20%" could mean "at a cost of 20% of the original value". This would mean:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B for 20% of what he paid, which is 2,000 * 0.20 = 400 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C for 10% of what he paid, which is 400 * 0.10 = 40 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 40) / 2,000 * 100% = 98%.

But this interpretation gives a result that is way off from any of the provided options, so it's likely incorrect.

Let me revisit the interpretation where "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means "at a 20% discount from the cost":

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

I think I've exhausted all possible interpretations, and the most logical answer is D: "28".

Actually, wait, maybe "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means "with a 20% profit on top of the cost" for mr. A. That would mean Mr. A's selling price to mr. B is 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.

And likewise, mr. B sells to mr. C with a 10% profit, meaning 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

But this is inconsistent with the question, because mr. C's price is higher, not lower, than mr. A's.

So I'm really thinking that the right interpretation is "at a 20% discount from the cost", which would give a price of 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht from mr. A to mr. B, and 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht from mr. B to mr. C.

This means mr. C pays (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28% less than mr. A, which corresponds to option D: "28".

Hmm, wait, thinking about it more, "โดยค่าทุน 20%" could also mean that mr. A's cost is 20% of his selling price? But that doesn't make sense, because that means his profit is 1 - 0.20 = 0.80, or 80% of the selling price, i.e., a profit of 400% on his cost!

Actually, what is mr. A's purchase price (2,000 baht) is his selling price? The phrase "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" means mr. A buys a necklace valued at 2,000 baht. In that case, it's possible that the problem is informing us about the standard value of the necklace, not necessarily what each person pays.

Let me try this interpretation:

  1. The necklace is valued at 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A buys it at a cost that's 20% less than this value, so he pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B buys it at a cost that's 10% less than what นาย A paid, so he pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.
  4. นาย C gets it from นาย B at the same price, 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to the standard value (2,000 baht) would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

Actually I'm getting very confused. The problem tells us mr. A bought the necklace. So if mr. A buys it, he pays a price, not sells it. He's the buyer in that transaction, not the seller.

So the first hint in the problem is telling us that mr. A bought it at 2,000 baht.

Then, he turns around and sells it to mr. B at some price, and the problem defines it as "โดยค่าทุน 20%". Then mr. B sells it to mr. C at yet a third price, defined as "โดยค่าทุน 10%".

After much consideration, I think the most likely interpretation is that "โดยค่าทุน X%" means "at a X% discount from the cost". That would give us:

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% discount, so นาย B pays 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% discount, so นาย C pays 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

The percentage discount for นาย C compared to นาย A would be: (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100% = 28%.

This corresponds to option D: "28".

OK I'm going with D: 28%.

To solve this problem, I need to track the necklace's price as it moves from person to person.

First, Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.

Then Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at a 20% discount from cost: 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 baht

Next, Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a 10% discount from his cost: 1,600 × 0.9 = 1,440 baht

To find the percentage difference between what Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A: (2,000 - 1,440)/2,000 × 100% = 560/2,000 × 100% = 28%

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace at a price 28% lower than Mr. A's original purchase price.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let me work through this step by step.

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. A sells to Mr. B with a 20% discount from cost, so Mr. B pays: 2,000 - (2,000 × 0.20) = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 baht. Mr. B sells to Mr. C with a 10% discount from his cost, so Mr. C pays: 1,600 - (1,600 × 0.10) = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 baht.

The difference between what Mr. A paid and what Mr. C paid: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht. As a percentage: (560/2,000) × 100% = 28%

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace for 28% less than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let me translate and understand this Thai math problem:

Mr. A bought a necklace worth 2,000 baht. Later he sold it to Mr. B at a loss of 20% (ขาดทุน means loss). Then Mr. B sold the necklace to Mr. C at a loss of 10%. Find what percentage lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A.

Let me calculate:

  • Mr. A bought at: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. A sold to Mr. B at 20% loss: 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 baht
  • Mr. B sold to Mr. C at 10% loss: 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 baht

So Mr. C bought at 1,440 baht while Mr. A bought at 2,000 baht.

The difference is: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht

As a percentage of Mr. A's price: (560/2,000) × 100% = 28%

So Mr. C bought the necklace 28% cheaper than Mr. A.

The answer is d: 28

Let me solve this step by step:

Mr. A bought a necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. A sold it to Mr. B at a 20% loss: 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 baht Mr. B sold it to Mr. C at a 10% loss: 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 baht

The difference between what Mr. A paid and what Mr. C paid: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht As a percentage: (560/2,000) × 100% = 28%

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace 28% cheaper than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let me solve this step by step.

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. A sells to Mr. B at a 20% loss, so Mr. B pays: 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 baht Mr. B sells to Mr. C at a 10% loss, so Mr. C pays: 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 baht

The difference between what Mr. A paid and what Mr. C paid: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht The percentage difference: (560 ÷ 2,000) × 100% = 28%

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace for 28% less than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let me break down this problem step by step.

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. Then he sells it to Mr. B with a 20% discount (ค่าทุน 20% means discount 20%). So Mr. B buys it for: 2,000 - (2,000 × 0.20) = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 baht

Then Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% discount. So Mr. C buys it for: 1,600 - (1,600 × 0.10) = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 baht

Now I need to find what percentage lower Mr. C's price is compared to Mr. A's price.

Mr. A paid: 2,000 baht Mr. C paid: 1,440 baht Difference: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht

Percentage lower = (560/2,000) × 100% = 0.28 × 100% = 28%

So Mr. C bought the necklace 28% cheaper than Mr. A.

The answer is d: 28

Let me solve this step by step.

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. A sells it to Mr. B with a 20% discount: 2,000 - (2,000 × 0.20) = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 baht Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% discount: 1,600 - (1,600 × 0.10) = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 baht

To find the percentage difference between Mr. C's price and Mr. A's price: Difference = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht Percentage = (560/2,000) × 100% = 28%

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace 28% cheaper than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let me work through this step by step:

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at cost + 20% profit = 2,000 × 1.20 = 2,400 baht. Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at cost + 10% profit = 2,400 × 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

To find how much more Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A: Difference = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht Percentage increase = (640 ÷ 2,000) × 100% = 32%

Wait, let me re-read the question. It asks how much LESS Mr. C bought it for compared to Mr. A, which doesn't make sense given the problem setup where prices increase.

Looking at the answer choices, I believe there might be a translation issue, and the question is asking for the percentage increase in price that Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A's original price.

The closest answer to 32% would be 30%.

{"correct_answer_key":"e"}

Let me break down this problem step by step:

  1. Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht
  2. Mr. A sells it to Mr. B with a 20% profit
  3. Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% profit
  4. We need to find what percentage less Mr. C paid compared to what Mr. A originally paid

Step 1: Mr. A's cost = 2,000 baht

Step 2: Mr. A sells to Mr. B with 20% profit Price Mr. B pays = 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht

Step 3: Mr. B sells to Mr. C with 10% profit Price Mr. C pays = 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht

Wait, let me re-read the question. The Thai text is a bit confusing. Let me translate it more carefully:

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

I think there might be some typos in the Thai text. Let me try to interpret this:

"Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht, then sells it to Mr.

I'm stuck on understanding the precise meaning of the Thai phrase. The translation seems ambiguous, with potential misinterpretation around the profit or cost percentages. The key challenge is deciphering whether "ค่าทุน" means a markup, discount, or something else entirely. The grammatical structure suggests there might be a nuanced meaning I'm missing.

Let me break down the transaction sequence systematically:

  • Initial price: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. A sells to Mr. B at 20% reduction
  • Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% further reduction

Calculating the price progression:

  • Mr. A's original price: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. B's purchase price: 1,600 baht
  • Mr. C's purchase price: 1,440 baht

The final calculation reveals Mr. C pays 28% less than the original price, which seems mathematically consistent. I need to verify the linguistic interpretation to confirm this understanding.

The Thai phrase suggests comparing Mr. C's price directly to Mr. A's, indicating a cumulative discount mechanism through the sales chain.

Calculating the price progression:

  • Mr. A's initial price: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. B reduces by 20%: 1,600 baht
  • Mr. C further reduces by 10%: 1,440 baht

I determine the total percentage discount from Mr. A's original price is 28%, revealing the incremental price reductions at each transaction stage.

Looking at this Thai math problem:

Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht, then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% loss, and Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a 10% loss.

Step by step:

  • Mr. A's cost: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. B pays: 2,000 - (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 baht
  • Mr. C pays: 1,600 - (10% of 1,600) = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 baht

To find what percentage less Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A: (2,000 - 1,440) ÷ 2,000 × 100% = 560 ÷ 2,000 × 100% = 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:

  1. Initial Purchase by นาย A:

    • นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. First Markup by นาย A (20%):

    • นาย A sells the necklace to นาย B with a 20% markup on the cost price.
    • Selling price to นาย B = 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.
  3. Second Markup by นาย B (10%):

    • นาย B sells the necklace to นาย C with a 10% markup on the cost price (which is the price นาย B paid to นาย A).
    • Selling price to นาย C = 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.
  4. Calculate the Percentage Difference:

    • นาย C buys the necklace for 2,640 baht, while นาย A bought it for 2,000 baht.
    • Difference in price = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht.
    • Percentage difference = (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

However, the question asks for how much less นาย C paid compared to นาย A, which seems to be a misunderstanding since นาย C actually paid more. Assuming the question intends to ask how much more นาย C paid compared to นาย A, the correct percentage is 32%.

Given the options, the closest and most logical answer based on the provided choices is:

{"correct_answer_key":"e"}

However, note that the correct percentage is 32%, but since 32% is not an option, the closest available option is 30%.

Explanation:

  1. นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท (ราคาต้นทุนของนาย A)
  2. นาย A ขายให้นาย B โดยคิดกำไร 20%:
    • ราคาขายให้นาย B = 2,000 + (20% ของ 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 บาท
  3. นาย B ขายต่อให้นาย C โดยคิดกำไร 10%:
    • ราคาขายให้นาย C = 2,400 + (10% ของ 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 บาท
  4. เปรียบเทียบราคาของนาย C (2,640 บาท) กับราคาของนาย A (2,000 บาท):
    • ส่วนต่าง = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 บาท
    • เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่สูงกว่า = (640 / 2,000) × 100 = 32% (นาย C จ่ายแพงกว่านาย A 32%)
    • แต่โจทย์ถามว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ ซึ่งคำตอบคือไม่มีในตัวเลือก (เนื่องจากนาย C จ่ายแพงกว่า)

ข้อสังเกต:
โจทย์อาจมีข้อผิดพลาดในการตั้งคำถาม (ควรถามว่านาย C จ่ายแพงกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์) หรือตัวเลือกคำตอบอาจไม่ครอบคลุม แต่หากโจทย์ต้องการถามว่านาย C ซื้อในราคาต่ำกว่านาย A (ซึ่งเป็นไปไม่ได้ในกรณีนี้) คำตอบที่ใกล้เคียงที่สุดคือ 28% (ตัวเลือก D) ซึ่งอาจเกิดจากการคำนวณย้อนกลับหรือการตีความโจทย์อีกแบบ

แต่หากโจทย์ถูกต้องและถามถึงส่วนลดที่นาย C ได้รับ (สมมติว่านาย C ซื้อในราคาต่ำกว่า 2,000 บาท) จะต้องมีข้อมูลเพิ่มเติม

คำตอบใน JSON (ตามตัวเลือกที่ให้มา):

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Explanation:
นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท (ต้นทุนของ A)
นาย A ขายให้นาย B โดยคิดกำไร 20% ดังนั้น ราคาขายให้นาย B = 2,000 + (20% ของ 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 บาท
นาย B ขายต่อให้นาย C โดยคิดกำไร 10% ดังนั้น ราคาขายให้นาย C = 2,400 + (10% ของ 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 บาท
นาย C ซื้อในราคา 2,640 บาท ซึ่งสูงกว่าราคาที่นาย A ซื้อ (2,000 บาท) แต่โจทย์ถามว่านาย C ซื้อราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์? ซึ่งจริงๆแล้วนาย C ซื้อในราคาที่สูงกว่า ดังนั้นอาจมีการตีความโจทย์ผิดพลาด

กลับไปอ่านโจทย์ดีๆ: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" ซึ่งไม่สมเหตุผลเพราะนาย C ซื้อในราคาสูงกว่า แต่ถ้าดูตัวเลือกมี 15,18,25,28,30 แสดงว่าอาจหมายถึงนาย C ซื้อในราคาที่ต่ำกว่าเมื่อเทียบกับราคาที่นาย A ขาย? หรือโจทย์อาจหมายถึงการลดลงเมื่อเทียบกับราคาดั้งเดิม?

ลองตีความใหม่: โจทย์อาจถามว่าราคาที่นาย C ซื้อนั้นต่ำกว่าราคาที่นาย A ซื้อกี่เปอร์เซ็นต์? แต่จริงๆแล้วนาย C ซื้อแพงกว่า ดังนั้นอาจไม่ใช่
อีกความเป็นไปได้: โจทย์อาจถามถึงการลดลงจากราคาสูงสุด? หรืออาจมีข้อผิดพลาดในการแปล

หลังจากตรวจสอบโจทย์ภาษาไทย: "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" ซึ่งไม่ถูกต้องเพราะนาย C ซื้อแพงกว่า แต่ตัวเลือกมีเฉพาะตัวเลขบวก ดังนั้นอาจหมายถึงเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ลดลงจากราคาที่นาย A ขาย?

วิธีที่ถูกต้อง: โจทย์น่าจะถามว่า "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคาที่สูงกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" แต่ตัวเลือกมีค่าเป็นบวกทั้งหมด ดังนั้นอาจเป็นการคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์การเพิ่มขึ้น

อย่างไรก็ตาม จากการคำนวณ:
นาย A ซื้อที่ 2,000 บาท
นาย C ซื้อที่ 2,640 บาท
ดังนั้นราคาเพิ่มขึ้น = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 บาท
เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่เพิ่มขึ้น = (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32% ซึ่งไม่มีในตัวเลือก

แต่ถ้าดูตัวเลือกมี 28 ซึ่งใกล้เคียง อาจมีการคำนวณผิด

อีกวิธี: โจทย์อาจถามว่านาย C ซื้อในราคาที่ต่ำกว่านาย B กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์? แต่โจทย์บอกว่า "ต่ำกว่านาย A"

หลังจากอ่านโจทย์อีกครั้ง: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" ซึ่งเป็นไปไม่ได้

แต่ในทางปฏิบัติ อาจหมายถึงเปอร์เซ็นต์การลดลงเมื่อเทียบกับราคาดั้งเดิม? ไม่ใช่

จริงๆแล้ว โจทย์น่าจะมีจุดผิดพลาดในการพิมพ์ แต่จากตัวเลือกที่ให้มา คาดว่าคำตอบคือ 28% ซึ่งอาจมาจากการคำนวณแบบต่อเนื่อง

วิธีคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ลด:
นาย A ซื้อที่ 2,000
นาย C ซื้อที่ 2,640
ถ้าถามว่าราคานาย C สูงกว่านาย A กี่% = (640/2000)*100 = 32% ไม่มีในตัวเลือก

ถ้าคิดแบบ chain discount:
นาย A ขาย B ที่ 2,400 (เพิ่ม 20%)
นาย B ขาย C ที่ 2,640 (เพิ่ม 10%)
整体上漲 32%

แต่ถ้าต้องการหาว่าราคาที่ C ซื้อต่ำกว่า A กี่% ซึ่งไม่ใช่

อีกตีความ: โจทย์อาจ想问 C ซื้อในราคาที่ต่ำกว่าที่ A ขายให้ B กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์?
A ขาย B ที่ 2,400
C ซื้อที่ 2,640 ซึ่งสูงกว่า

ไม่เข้าใกล้

จากตัวเลือก 28% อาจมาจาก:
เมื่อ A ขาย B ที่ 20% กำไร B ขาย C ที่ 10% กำไร แล้ว整体 price increase ไม่ใช่ 28%

ลองคำนวณ:
ราคา C = 2000 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.1) = 2000 * 1.2 * 1.1 = 2000 * 1.32 = 2640
所以上涨32%

但选项有28,可能是误计算为20%+10%=30% แล้วลบบางอย่าง

หรืออาจ是问ลดลงจากราคาเต็ม?

实际上,可能题目是问:C ซื้อในราคาที่ต่ำกว่า A ที่ซื้อมากี่% ซึ่งไม่逻辑

经过思考,最接近的答案是28%,可能来自于连续折扣的计算错误,但这里是加价

另一种可能:题目可能有误,但根据选项,28% 是答案,所以可能是:
2000 * (1+20%) =2400
2400 * (1+10%)=2640
然后求比原价高32%,但选项没有

或许问的是C买的价格比A买的价格高多少,但32不在选项

或许题目是问折扣率?

重新读题:"นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" 可能是个错误,应该是问低多少,但实际是高

但在多项选择中,28% 是选项,所以可能计算为:
整体利润率不是简单的相加,而是相乘,但32不在

或许他们想要的是等效折扣:
从A到C,价格从2000到2640,上涨32%
但如果从C到A,下降 (640/2640)*100 = 24.24% ไม่ตรง

另一个想法:或许题目是问นาย C ซื้อในราคาที่ต่ำกว่านาย B กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์?
B ซื้อที่2400,C ซื้อที่2640,所以C买得更贵

不工作

或许题目有打字错误,应该是问นาย A ซื้อราคาต่ำกว่านาย C กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์?
然后下降 (640/2640)*100=24.24% ไม่ตรง

从选项看,28% 可能是答案,所以计算如下:
2000 * (1+20%) =2400
2400 * (1+10%)=2640
然后 percent decrease from A's purchase price to C's purchase price? 但那是增加

或许他们计算了错误的百分比:
20% + 10% =30% แล้วลบ 2% สำหรับ interaction?

或: 100% - (100%*120%*110%) /100%? ไม่

最终,根据常见错误,有些人可能会计算为20% +10% =30% แล้วลบ (20%*10%)=2%, 所以 net 28%, 但这是错误的,因为价格上升了32%, not 28%.

但在一些上下文中,他们可能用这种方法计算整体利润率。

对于这个问题,由于32%不在选项中,而28%在,所以答案可能是28%, 来自20% +10% - (20%*10%) =30% -2% =28%.

因此,นาย C ซื้อที่2640,ซึ่ง高于นาย A的2000,但题目问"ต่ำกว่า"可能是错误, 但根据选项,选择28%.

所以,正确答案是28%, 对应选项 d:28.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Explanation:

The problem involves a chain of transactions for a necklace. Mr. A buys it for 2,000 baht. He sells it to Mr. B at a loss of 20% on the cost price. The selling price to B is calculated as 80% of 2,000 baht, which is 1,600 baht. Mr. B then sells it to Mr. C at a loss of 10% on his cost price (1,600 baht). The selling price to C is 90% of 1,600 baht, which is 1,440 baht. Mr. C thus pays 1,440 baht, which is 560 baht less than Mr. A's original purchase price of 2,000 baht. The percentage decrease is (560 / 2000) × 100% = 28%. Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace for 28% less than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key": "d"}

First, the question is in Thai. Let me translate it to understand.

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

Translation: "Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht and sells it to Mr. B at a profit of 20%. Then Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a profit of 10%. Find how many percent Mr. C buys the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

The options are: a) 15, b) 18, c) 25, d) 28, e) 30. These are percentages.

I need to find the price at which Mr. C buys the necklace and then compare it to the original price Mr. A bought it for, to find the percentage difference.

Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht. This is the cost price for A.

He sells it to Mr. B at a profit of 20%. So, selling price to B = cost price + profit = 2,000 + 20% of 2,000.

Calculate that: 20% of 2,000 is 0.20 * 2,000 = 400 baht. So, selling price to B = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.

Now, Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a profit of 10%. But what is the cost price for B? It's the price he bought it from A, which is 2,400 baht.

So, profit for B is 10% of his cost price, which is 10% of 2,400.

10% of 2,400 is 0.10 * 2,400 = 240 baht.

Therefore, selling price to C = cost price for B + profit = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.

Now, Mr. C buys it for 2,640 baht.

Mr. A originally bought it for 2,000 baht. But the question is: "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" which means "how many percent does Mr. C buy the necklace cheaper than Mr. A?"

This is a bit ambiguous. Does it mean compared to what Mr. A paid or compared to what Mr. A sold it for? Let's read carefully.

"ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" – "buy the necklace at a price lower than Mr. A." But Mr. A bought it at 2,000, and Mr. C bought it at 2,640, which is higher, not lower. That doesn't make sense.

Perhaps it means compared to the original value or something. Maybe it's asking for the percentage difference between what C paid and what A paid, but since C paid more, it might be that "ต่ำกว่า" means cheaper, but numerically, 2,640 > 2,000, so it's not cheaper.

I think I might have misinterpreted. Let me read the question again.

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" – Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht. So, he purchased it for 2,000.

"ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – "sells it to Mr. B at a profit of 20%". "ค่าทุน" means cost, so profit based on cost.

Then "ต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%" – "then Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a profit of 10%".

Now, "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" – "find how many percent Mr. C buys the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

But Mr. C buys at 2,640, Mr. A bought at 2,000, so C paid more, not less. This is confusing.

Perhaps "นาย A" here refers to the price at which A sold it or something? But it says "ซื้อ" which means buy.

Maybe it's asking for the percentage less that C paid compared to what A originally paid, but since C paid more, it would be negative, but options are positive numbers.

Perhaps I have a mistake in the profit calculation.

Another thought: "โดยค่าทุน" might mean "on cost", so profit is calculated on cost price.

But still, C pays more.

Let's look at the options: 15, 18, 25, 28, 30. These are positive percentages, so probably it's asking for the discount or something.

Perhaps "ต่ำกว่า" means lower than the price A sold it, but the phrase is "ต่ำกว่านาย A" which is "lower than Mr. A", but Mr. A is a person, so it might be ambiguous.

In context, "ราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" likely means "price lower than that of Mr. A", meaning lower than the price Mr. A paid or sold.

But since A bought at 2,000 and sold at 2,400, and C bought at 2,640, which is higher than both.

Unless "มูลค่า" means something else? "ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" could mean he bought a necklace valued at 2,000, but he might have bought it at cost or something. But typically, it means he paid 2,000 for it.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means that he sells it at a price that includes 20% profit on cost, which is what I did.

Let's read the question carefully: "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%"

"ต่อมูลค่า" might mean "at value" or "at price", but "โดยค่าทุน" means "by cost" or "on cost", so profit on cost.

Similarly for B.

But still, the final price is higher.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage that C's price is less than A's selling price or something. Let's see the phrase: "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A"

"นาย A" might refer to the price at which A bought it, but since C paid more, it doesn't make sense.

Another idea: perhaps "ต่ำกว่า" is misinterpreted. Maybe it means how much less C paid compared to what A would have paid or something, but that doesn't fit.

Let's think about the chain.

A buys at 2000.

A sells to B at profit 20% on cost, so selling price = 2000 * 1.2 = 2400.

B sells to C at profit 10% on cost, so cost for B is 2400, profit = 10% of 2400 = 240, selling price = 2400 + 240 = 2640.

C buys at 2640.

A bought at 2000, so C paid more. But the question asks for "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower, so perhaps it's a trick, or perhaps I have the profit direction wrong.

Maybe "โดยค่าทุน" means that the profit is calculated on the cost, but perhaps for B, "ค่าทุน" refers to his cost, which is 2400.

But still.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage difference between what C paid and what A paid, and since C paid more, the percentage cheaper would be negative, but options are positive, so maybe it's the percentage that A's price is less than C's, but the word "ต่ำกว่า" suggests C is lower.

Let's read the question once more: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

In Thai, "ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่า" means "buy the necklace at a price lower than", and "นาย A" probably means "than Mr. A's price", which could be what A paid or what A sold it for.

If it's what A paid, 2000, then C paid 2640, which is not lower.

If it's what A sold it for, 2400, then C paid 2640, which is still not lower.

So both cases, C paid higher, so "ต่ำกว่า" doesn't hold.

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding of "ค่าทุน". "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean that he sells it at a price that gives 20% profit on the cost, which is what I did.

Another thought: perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means something else. "ต่อ" might mean "add" or "mark up", but I think it's standard.

Maybe for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it at a profit of 10% on his cost, which is 2400.

But still.

Perhaps the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to the original value or something, but it says "ต่ำกว่านาย A", which is compared to A.

Let's look at the options. Maybe I need to calculate the overall percentage change from A's purchase to C's purchase.

A bought at 2000, C bought at 2640, so percentage increase = (2640 - 2000)/2000 * 100 = 640/2000 * 100 = 32%, which is not in options.

But the question asks for "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower, so not that.

Perhaps "นาย A" refers to the price at which A sold it, so compare C's price to A's selling price.

C paid 2640, A sold at 2400, so C paid more, percentage higher = (2640-2400)/2400 * 100 = 240/2400 * 100 = 10%, not in options.

Not that.

Another idea: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the profit is calculated on the selling price or something, but it says "โดยค่าทุน" which typically means on cost.

In some contexts, "ค่าทุน" might mean cost price, so profit on cost.

But let's read the question: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" and "โดยค่าทุน 10%", so for both, profit on cost.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage that C's price is less than A's cost price, but since it's not less, it might be that I have the profit wrong.

Maybe "ต่อมูลค่า" means that he sells it at the value plus profit, but same as before.

Perhaps for A, "ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" means that the necklace is worth 2,000, but he might have bought it at a discount or something, but it says "ซื้อ" which means buy, so he purchased it for 2,000.

Let's think about the word "ต่ำกว่า". Maybe it's a trick, and we need to find how much percent less C paid compared to if he had bought it directly or something.

Perhaps "นาย A" is not the purchase price, but the person, and "ราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" means the price is lower than what Mr. A had, but Mr. A had it at cost 2000, sold at 2400, so C paid 2640, which is higher.

I recall that in some questions, sometimes they ask for the percentage discount or something.

Another thought: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" for B means that he sells it at a profit of 10% on the cost, but maybe the cost for B is different.

Or perhaps "ค่าทุน" means the initial cost, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's calculate the cost for C compared to A.

Perhaps the question is to find the percentage difference between what C paid and what A paid, and since C paid more, the percentage cheaper is negative, but maybe they want the absolute value of the percentage decrease, but there is no decrease.

Let's read the question in Thai again: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

Perhaps "นาย A" here means the price that A paid, and they want to know how much percent less C paid, but since C paid more, it must be that I have the selling price wrong.

Maybe for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it at a loss of 10% or something, but it says "ค่าทุน" which usually means profit on cost, but perhaps in this context, it might be different.

Perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means that he sells it at the same value or something.

Let's look at the word "ต่อมูลค่า" – "ต่อ" might mean "continue" or "sell", but "มูลค่า" means value.

Another idea: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means that the selling price includes 20% profit on cost, which is what I did.

But let's assume that for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" might mean that he sells it with 10% profit on his cost, which is 2400, so 2640.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage that the final price is less than the initial price due to multiple profits, but it's not less.

I think there might be a mistranslation or misunderstanding.

Let's try to parse the sentence: "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" – Mr. A buys a necklace of value 2,000 baht.

"ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – "sells the value to Mr. B with cost 20%". This might mean that A sells it to B at a price that gives A a profit of 20% on his cost.

Then "ต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%" – "then Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C with cost 10%". So B sells with profit 10% on his cost.

Then "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" – "find how many percent Mr. C buys the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

Perhaps " cheaper than Mr. A" means cheaper than what Mr. A paid for it, but since C paid more, it must be that the profit is not on cost for B, or something.

Maybe "โดยค่าทุน" for B means that he sells it at cost price or with profit on a different base.

Another thought: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the profit is calculated on the selling price, not cost price. Let's try that.

If profit is on selling price, then for A, he sells to B with profit 20% on selling price.

Let S_B be selling price to B.

Profit = 20% of S_B? Or 20% on cost? The phrase "โดยค่าทุน" usually means on cost, but let's assume on selling price for sake of argument.

If profit is on selling price, then for A, cost = 2000, profit = 20% of selling price, so selling price S_B = cost + profit = 2000 + 0.2 * S_B

So S_B - 0.2 S_B = 2000

0.8 S_B = 2000

S_B = 2000 / 0.8 = 2500 baht.

Then for B, he sells to C with profit 10% on selling price.

Cost for B = 2500

Profit = 10% of selling price to C, let S_C be selling price to C.

S_C = cost + profit = 2500 + 0.1 * S_C

S_C - 0.1 S_C = 2500

0.9 S_C = 2500

S_C = 2500 / 0.9 ≈ 2777.78 baht, which is not integer, and options are integers, so probably not.

Moreover, the options are percentages like 15,18, etc., so probably not.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the profit is on cost, but the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to A's cost, but since it's not less, maybe they want the percentage more, but the word "ต่ำกว่า" suggests less.

Let's read the question once more: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

Perhaps "นาย A" means the price at which A sold it, so compare C's price to A's selling price.

If A sold at 2400, B sold at 2640, so C paid more, so not less.

Unless for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it at a loss of 10% on cost, but it says "ค่าทุน" which implies profit, not loss.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the selling price is based on cost with profit, but maybe for B, it's 10% profit on something else.

Another idea: perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means that he sells it at the value plus profit, but same as before.

Let's look at the options: 15, 18, 25, 28, 30. These might be the percentage difference.

Perhaps from A's purchase to C's purchase, the percentage increase is 32%, not in options.

Maybe they want the percentage that the final price is of the initial, but not.

Perhaps the question is to find the percentage discount if C bought it directly from A or something.

Let's think about the overall profit.

A bought at 2000, sold at 2400.

B bought at 2400, sold at 2640.

C bought at 2640.

Now, if we compare what C paid to what A paid, it's 2640 vs 2000, so C paid 640 more, which is 32% more.

But the question asks for "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower, so not.

Perhaps "ต่ำกว่านาย A" means lower than the price that A sold it for, which is 2400, so C paid 2640, which is 240 more, which is 10% more, not less.

Not in options.

Perhaps for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it with 10% profit on the initial cost or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Another thought: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" for B means that his cost is used, but profit is on selling price, but let's not assume.

Let's consider that the profit is on cost for both, but the question is asking for the percentage that C's price is less than A's price if there were no profit or something.

Perhaps they want the percentage decrease from the selling price of A to the purchase price of C, but it's increase.

I recall that in some cases, they might ask for the effective percentage change from start to end, but here it's increase.

Perhaps the word "ต่ำกว่า" is a mistake, and it should be "สูงกว่า" meaning higher, but that's not what it says.

Let's read the initial part: "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" – perhaps "มูลค่า" means market value, but he bought it at that value.

Perhaps "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B" means that he sells it to B at a value with profit, but maybe "ต่อมูลค่า" means "at cost" or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Another idea: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means that the profit is 20% of the cost, which is what I did.

But then why would they ask for how much less C paid?

Perhaps for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it at a discount of 10% on the cost, but it says "ค่าทุน" which typically means profit, not discount.

In Thai, "ค่าทุน" means cost price, and "โดยค่าทุน" might mean "based on cost", so for profit, it's on cost.

But let's assume that for B, he sells it with 10% profit on cost, so 2400 * 1.1 = 2640.

Now, perhaps the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to the combined price or something.

Maybe they want the percentage that the final price is less than the initial price if there were only one profit, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's calculate the price that C paid and see.

Perhaps "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" means that the price C paid is lower than the price A paid, but it's not, so maybe there is a mistake in the problem.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" for A means that he sells it at cost with 20% profit, but for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" might mean that B sells it at cost with 10% profit, but same.

Another thought: perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means that he sells it at the value, and "โดยค่าทุน" means including profit, but same.

Let's look for similar problems online or think differently.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage discount that C got compared to the original value, but the original value is 2000, C paid 2640, so no discount.

Not.

Perhaps "นาย A" refers to the price that A would have sold it for if he sold directly to C, but that's not specified.

I think I need to consider that the profit is on the selling price for both.

Let me try that.

For A, he sells to B with profit 20% on selling price.

So, let S_B be selling price to B. Profit = 20% of S_B Cost = 2000 So, S_B = cost + profit = 2000 + 0.2 S_B S_B - 0.2 S_B = 2000 0.8 S_B = 2000 S_B = 2500

For B, he sells to C with profit 10% on selling price. Let S_C be selling price to C. Cost for B = 2500 Profit = 10% of S_C S_C = cost + profit = 2500 + 0.1 S_C S_C - 0.1 S_C = 2500 0.9 S_C = 2500 S_C = 2500 / 0.9 = 2777.78, which is approximately 2778, not integer.

Then C paid 2778, A paid 2000, so C paid more.

Not lower.

Perhaps for B, profit is on cost, but on selling price for A, or vice versa.

Assume for A, profit on cost, so S_B = 2000 * 1.2 = 2400

For B, profit on selling price, so S_C = cost / (1 - profit rate) = 2400 / (1 - 0.1) = 2400 / 0.9 = 2666.67, still higher.

Not.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the selling price is determined by adding profit to cost, which is what I did first.

But then why "ต่ำกว่า"?

Another idea: perhaps "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" means that the price C paid is lower than the price A paid for it, but since it's not, maybe the profit is negative for B, but it's not specified.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 10%" for B means that he sells it at a loss of 10% on cost.

Let's try that.

If B sells at loss of 10% on cost, then selling price to C = cost for B - loss = 2400 - 10% of 2400 = 2400 - 240 = 2160 baht.

Then C paid 2160, A paid 2000, so C paid 160 more, which is 8% more, not less, and not in options.

If loss, then C paid 2160, which is higher than 2000, so not lower.

Unless for A, he also sold at loss, but no, he sold at profit.

Perhaps for both, they sell at loss, but A sold at profit.

Not.

Perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means that he sells it at the same value, but with "โดยค่าทุน" it doesn't make sense.

Let's read the question: "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%"

Perhaps "ต่อมูลค่า" means "add value" or "mark up", so he sells it at cost plus profit.

But still.

I recall that in some problems, they ask for the percentage difference after multiple profits, and how much less the final price is compared to the initial, but since profits are positive, it should be higher.

Unless the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to if he had bought it from A directly with the same profit margin or something.

Suppose if C bought from A directly with profit 20%, then price would be 2400, but C paid 2640 from B, so C paid more, so not less.

If from A with profit of both, but not.

Perhaps the question is to find the effective percentage decrease from the selling price of A to the purchase price of C, but it's increase.

Let's calculate the percentage from A's sale to C's purchase: from 2400 to 2640, increase of 10%.

Not in options.

Perhaps for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it with 10% profit on the selling price of A or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Another idea: perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" means that the profit is on the initial cost for both.

For A, profit on initial cost: profit = 20% of 2000 = 400, so sell at 2400.

For B, profit on initial cost: profit = 10% of 2000 = 200, so sell at 2400 + 200 = 2600? But B's cost is 2400, so if he sells at 2600, profit of 200, which is on initial cost, but typically profit on his cost would be 200/2400 ≈ 8.33%, not 10%.

But if he sells at 2600, then C paid 2600.

A paid 2000, so C paid more.

Then percentage more = (2600-2000)/2000 * 100 = 30%, which is option e) 30.

But the question asks for "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower, so if C paid 30% more, then it's not lower.

Perhaps the question is asking for the percentage that A's price is lower than C's price, but the word "ต่ำกว่า" is for C, so "C buys at price lower than A", which is not true.

Maybe in the question, "ต่ำกว่านาย A" means lower than the price of Mr. A, but Mr. A's price could be the selling price, and they want how much less C paid compared to that, but still not less.

Perhaps there is a mistake in the problem, or in my understanding.

Let's read the Thai again: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

Perhaps "นาย A" is a typo, and it should be "นาย B" or something.

Suppose they want how much less C paid compared to B's cost or something.

If C paid 2640, B's cost is 2400, so not less.

Perhaps for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it at a price that gives 10% profit on his cost, but maybe the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to the original value, but it's not less.

Another thought: perhaps "ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่า" means that the price C paid is lower than the value, but value is 2000, so not.

I think I need to consider that the profit is on the cost, but the question is asking for the percentage difference between what C paid and what A paid, and since it's positive, they might want the percentage increase, but the word "ต่ำกว่า" suggests decrease.

Perhaps in this context, "ต่ำกว่า" means how much it is lower, but since it's not, they might want the absolute difference in percentage, but that would be positive for increase.

But the word "ต่ำกว่า" clearly means "lower than", so it should be negative.

Perhaps for the purpose of this problem, we assume that they want the percentage how much C paid more, but the options are positive, and e) 30 might be it if we use profit on initial cost for B.

Let's try that.

If for B, he sells with profit 10% on the initial cost of 2000, so profit = 200, selling price = cost for B + profit = 2400 + 200 = 2600.

Then C paid 2600.

A paid 2000.

So C paid 600 more, which is 30% more than A's cost.

Then the percentage that C paid more than A is 30%.

But the question says "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower, so it should be how much less, but perhaps it's a mistranslation, or in some contexts, they might ask for the difference.

Perhaps the question is to find how much percent less A's cost is compared to C's price, which is (2600-2000)/2600 * 100 = 600/2600 * 100 ≈ 23.07%, not in options.

Not.

If C paid 2600, A's cost 2000, so A's cost is 600 less, which is 30% of 2000, but compared to C's price, it's 23.07%.

But the question is "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" which means C buys at price lower than A, so if A's cost is 2000, C's price should be lower, but it's not.

Perhaps "นาย A" refers to the selling price of A, which is 2400.

If C paid 2600, then C paid more than A's selling price, so not lower.

If for B, he sells at profit on his cost, so 2640, then compared to A's selling price 2400, C paid more.

So not.

Perhaps for B, he sells at loss on his cost.

Suppose B sells at loss of 10% on his cost.

Then selling price to C = 2400 - 10% of 2400 = 2400 - 240 = 2160.

Then C paid 2160.

A paid 2000, so C paid 160 more, so not lower.

A's selling price is 2400, so C paid 2160, which is lower than A's selling price by 240, which is 10% of 2400, so 10% less, not in options.

Not.

Perhaps loss on initial cost.

If B sells at loss of 10% on initial cost, so loss = 10% of 2000 = 200, so selling price = cost for B - loss = 2400 - 200 = 2200.

Then C paid 2200.

A paid 2000, so C paid more.

A's selling price 2400, so C paid 2200, which is 200 less, which is 8.33% less, not in options.

Not.

I think I need to consider that the question might be asking for the percentage that the final price is of the initial, but then how it is "ต่ำกว่า".

Another idea: perhaps "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" means that the price C paid is lower than the price A would have if he bought it now or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" for A means that he sells it with profit 20% on cost, but for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means that he sells it with profit 10% on the selling price, but let's calculate.

A: S_B = 2000 * 1.2 = 2400

B: profit on selling price to C, so S_C = cost for B / (1 - profit rate) = 2400 / (1 - 0.1) = 2400 / 0.9 = 2666.67

C paid 2666.67

A paid 2000, so not lower.

Not.

Perhaps for B, profit on cost, but for A, profit on selling price.

A: S_B = cost / (1 - profit rate) = 2000 / (1 - 0.2) = 2000 / 0.8 = 2500

B: S_C = cost for B * 1.1 = 2500 * 1.1 = 2750

C paid 2750, A paid 2000, not lower.

Not.

I think I have to assume that the question has a typo, and "ต่ำกว่า" might be "สูงกว่า" or something, and then answer with the percentage increase.

If we take profit on cost for both, C paid 2640, A paid 2000, increase of 32%, not in options.

If for B, profit on initial cost, C paid 2600, increase of 30%, which is option e) 30.

So perhaps that is the intended answer.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน" for B means profit on his cost, but the question is to find how much percent less C paid compared to the price if there was no profit from B or something.

Suppose if B did not take profit, C would have paid 2400, but C paid 2640, so C paid more, not less.

Not.

Another thought: perhaps "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" means how many percent is the price that C paid less than the price that A paid, but since it's not less, they might want the percentage that it is more, but the word is "ต่ำกว่า".

In some cases, they might use absolute value.

But let's look at the options, and see which one matches.

Perhaps from the chain, the effective profit from A to C is not simply added.

Let's calculate the overall profit.

A to B: profit 20% on cost.

B to C: profit 10% on cost.

So the overall cost for C is 2000 * 1.2 * 1.1 = 2000 * 1.32 = 2640, as before.

Now, the question might be asking for the percentage that the final price is more than the initial, which is 32%, not in options.

Perhaps they want the percentage that the initial price is less than the final price, which is (2640-2000)/2640 * 100 = 640/2640 * 100 ≈ 24.24%, not in options.

Not.

Perhaps for the profit, they consider the profit on the selling price for both.

A: S_B = 2000 / (1-0.2) = 2000 / 0.8 = 2500

B: S_C = 2500 / (1-0.1) = 2500 / 0.9 ≈ 2777.78

Then percentage increase from A's cost: (2777.78-2000)/2000 * 100 ≈ 38.89%, not in options.

Not.

Perhaps they want the percentage difference between S_C and S_B or something.

S_C - S_B = 2777.78-2500=277.78, which is 11.11% of S_B, not in options.

Not.

I think the most likely is that for B, "โดยค่าทุน 10%" means profit on the initial cost, so S_C = 2400 + 0.1*2000 = 2400 + 200 = 2600.

Then the percentage that C paid more than A is (2600-2000)/2000 * 100 = 30%.

And option e) 30 is there.

So perhaps that is the answer, and "ต่ำกว่า" might be a misphrasing, or in this context, it might be how much percent it is different.

Perhaps the question is to find how much percent less A's cost is compared to C's price, which is (2600-2000)/2600 * 100 ≈ 23.07%, not in options.

Not.

Another idea: perhaps "นาย A" in the question refers to the selling price of A, and they want how much less C paid compared to that, but with S_C=2600, A's selling price=2400, so C paid more, not less.

If S_C=2600, A's sell price=2400, so C paid 200 more, which is 8.33% more, not less.

Not.

Perhaps for B, he sells at loss, but then S_C=2160 or something.

If S_C=2160, A's cost=2000, so C paid more.

A's sell price=2400, so C paid 2160, which is 240 less, which is 10% less, and option might be 10, but not in options, options are 15,18, etc.

Not.

Perhaps loss of 20% for B.

If B sells at loss of 20% on cost, S_C=2400 - 0.2*2400=2400-480=1920.

Then C paid 1920, A paid 2000, so C paid 80 less, which is 4% less, not in options.

Not.

So, the only option that matches a calculation is 30%, with profit on initial cost for B.

Therefore, probably the answer is e) 30.

So, for the response, I'll go with that.

So, correct_answer_key is "e".

But let's confirm the question: " how many percent Mr. C buys the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

If C paid 2600 and A paid 2000, then C did not buy cheaper; he bought more expensive. So, perhaps it's how much more expensive, but the word is "cheaper".

Perhaps in the context, "ต่ำกว่า" might be used incorrectly, or perhaps it's how much less A's price is.

But since the options include 30, and it's the only one that fits, I'll choose e.

So, for the JSON response.

The question involves calculating the price at which Mr. C buys the necklace after two transactions with profits based on cost. Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht and sells it to Mr. B at a profit of 20% on cost, so the selling price to B is 2,000 * 1.2 = 2,400 baht. Mr. B then sells it to Mr. C at a profit of 10% on the initial cost (2,000 baht), not on his own cost, resulting in a profit of 200 baht and a selling price of 2,400 + 200 = 2,600 baht. Mr. C buys it for 2,600 baht, while Mr. A originally paid 2,000 baht. The percentage that Mr. C paid more than Mr. A is (2,600 - 2,000) / 2,000 * 100 = 30%. Although the question asks for "ต่ำกว่า" (cheaper), the calculation based on typical interpretation of "โดยค่าทุน" and the options provided leads to 30% as the answer, corresponding to option e.

{"correct_answer_key":"e"}

Here's the breakdown, translating the Thai question and then solving it:

Question Translation: Mr. A bought a necklace for 2,000 baht. He then sold it to Mr. B with a 20% markup. Mr. B then sold the necklace to Mr. C with a 10% markup. Find the percentage by which Mr. C's purchase price is lower than if he had bought it directly from Mr. A at the original price (which would have been a 0% markup). This is a bit of a trick question as it's asking how much higher C paid, but phrased as how much lower it would be if C bought it from A directly.

Solution:

  1. A to B: Mr. A sells to Mr. B for 2000 + (20/100)*2000 = 2000 + 400 = 2400 baht.

  2. B to C: Mr. B sells to Mr. C for 2400 + (10/100)*2400 = 2400 + 240 = 2640 baht.

  3. Difference: Mr. C paid 2640 baht. If Mr. C bought it from Mr. A directly, he would have paid 2000 baht. The difference is 2640 - 2000 = 640 baht.

  4. Percentage Difference: (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%

Since the question asks how much lower the price would be if bought from A (which is the original price), and the price is actually higher when bought from C, none of the provided answers are correct. The price C paid is 32% higher than A's original price. If the question meant to ask how much higher C paid than A, then there's no correct option in the given choices.

{"correct_answer_key": null}

Let's break down the problem:

  • A buys the necklace for 2000 baht.
  • A sells to B at a 20% profit: 2000 * 1.20 = 2400 baht.
  • B sells to C at a 10% profit: 2400 * 1.10 = 2640 baht.

Now, we need to find the percentage difference between C's price (2640) and A's initial price (2000). The difference is 2640 - 2000 = 640 baht.

The percentage difference relative to A's price is (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%. Since C paid more than A, the question is flawed. It asks how much lower C's price is than A's, but C's price is higher. However, if the question meant to ask how much higher C's price is than A's, the answer would be 32%. Since that isn't an option, and the question is phrased in a way that implies C paid less, there is no correct answer among the choices.

However, if we assume the question meant to ask how much less A would have paid if he bought it directly from the source instead of C, we can calculate the percentage difference from C's perspective: (640 / 2640) * 100 = 24.24%. The closest answer is 25%.

Given the flawed nature of the question, and the closest available answer, I will select "c".

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

Here's the breakdown:

  1. นาย A to นาย B: นาย A sells the necklace to นาย B with a 20% profit. This means นาย B pays 120% of the original price.

    • Price นาย B pays: 2000 * 1.20 = 2400 baht
  2. นาย B to นาย C: นาย B sells the necklace to นาย C with a 10% profit. This means นาย C pays 110% of the price นาย B paid.

    • Price นาย C pays: 2400 * 1.10 = 2640 baht
  3. Difference: นาย C pays 2640 baht, and นาย A originally paid 2000 baht.

    • Difference: 2640 - 2000 = 640 baht
  4. Percentage Difference: Calculate the percentage difference relative to นาย A's original price.

    • Percentage: (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%

However, the question asks how much lower the price is for นาย C compared to นาย A. Since นาย C paid more, the question is flawed. Let's rephrase the question to ask how much higher the price is for นาย C compared to นาย A.

นาย A ขายสร้อยให้นาย B โดยลดราคา 20% ดังนั้นนาย B ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 100% - 20% = 80% ของราคานาย A นาย B ขายสร้อยให้นาย C โดยลดราคา 10% ดังนั้นนาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 100% - 10% = 90% ของราคานาย B

ถ้าราคาที่นาย A ซื้อคือ 100% ราคานาย B ซื้อ = 100% * 0.80 = 80% ของราคานาย A ราคานาย C ซื้อ = 80% * 0.90 = 72% ของราคานาย A

ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 72% ของราคานาย A ซึ่งหมายความว่าราคาต่ำกว่านาย A อยู่ 100% - 72% = 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Here's a breakdown of the problem:

  1. นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท (Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 baht). This is the initial price.

  2. ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% (Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at a 20% discount from his cost).

    • Discount amount = 20% of 2,000 baht = 0.20 * 2,000 = 400 baht.
    • Price Mr. B pays = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 baht.
  3. ต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% (Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a 10% discount from his cost).

    • Mr. B's cost is 1,600 baht.
    • Discount amount = 10% of 1,600 baht = 0.10 * 1,600 = 160 baht.
    • Price Mr. C pays = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 baht.
  4. จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ (Find out what percentage lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A).

    • Price Mr. A paid = 2,000 baht.
    • Price Mr. C paid = 1,440 baht.
    • Difference in price = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht.
    • Percentage lower = (Difference / Original Price) * 100
    • Percentage lower = (560 / 2,000) * 100 = 0.28 * 100 = 28%.

So, Mr. C bought the necklace 28% lower than Mr. A.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

นาย A ขายสร้อยให้นาย B โดยขาดทุน 20% ราคาจึงเหลือ 2,000 * (1 - 0.20) = 1,600 บาท จากนั้นนาย B ขายต่อให้นาย C โดยขาดทุนอีก 10% จากราคาที่ตนซื้อมา ราคาจึงเหลือ 1,600 * (1 - 0.10) = 1,440 บาท ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคาที่ต่ำกว่านาย A อยู่ (2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000 * 100 = 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

This question is in Thai. Here's the translation and explanation:

Translation: A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht and sells it to B with a 20% profit. B then sells the necklace to C with a 10% profit. How much lower is the price C paid compared to the price A paid, expressed as a percentage?

Explanation:

  1. A's selling price to B: 2000 + (20% of 2000) = 2000 + 400 = 2400 baht
  2. B's selling price to C: 2400 + (10% of 2400) = 2400 + 240 = 2640 baht
  3. Difference in price: 2640 - 2000 = 640 baht
  4. Percentage difference (compared to A's price): (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%

However, the question asks how much lower C's price is than A's. The calculation above shows C paid more than A. The question is poorly worded. It should ask how much higher C paid. But given the answer choices, we need to find the percentage difference between the price C paid and the price A paid.

Let's re-examine the question. It asks how much lower C's price is than A's. This implies we need to find the percentage decrease from A's price to C's price. This doesn't make sense in this context since C paid more.

Looking at the answer choices, the closest answer to our calculated 32% is 30%. There might be a slight error in the problem statement or the answer choices. Assuming the question meant to ask the percentage increase in price from A to C, the closest answer is E.

{"correct_answer_key":"e"}

The question involves a chain of transactions where Mr. A buys a necklace and sells it to Mr. B at a loss, then Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at another loss. The phrase "โดยค่าทุน 20%" is interpreted as selling at a 20% loss (i.e., 80% of cost price), and similarly for the 10% loss.

  • Mr. A buys for 2,000 baht.
  • Sells to Mr. B at 20% loss: 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  • Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% loss: 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 baht.
  • Mr. C pays 1,440 baht, which is 560 baht less than Mr. A's purchase price of 2,000 baht.
  • Percentage less: (560 / 2,000) × 100 = 28%.

The correct answer corresponds to option d.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

question involves calculating the percentage decrease in the price Mr. C paid for the necklace compared to what Mr. A paid. Mr. A initially buys the necklace for 2,000 baht. He then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% discount on his cost price, resulting in a selling price of 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 1,600 baht. Mr. B subsequently sells it to Mr. C at a 10% discount on his cost price, resulting in a selling price of 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,440 baht. Mr. C paid 1,440 baht, while Mr. A paid 2,000 baht, so the difference is 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht less. The percentage decrease is calculated as (560 / 2,000) × 100% = 28%.

คำอธิบาย:
นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท
นาย B ซื้อต่อโดย "ค่าทุน 20%" หมายถึง นาย A ขายให้ B ขาดทุน 20%
ราคาที่ B ซื้อ = 2,000 - (20% ของ 2,000) = 2,000 - 400 = 1,600 บาท

นาย B ขายต่อให้นาย C โดย "ค่าทุน 10%" หมายถึง นาย B ขายให้ C ขาดทุน 10%
ราคาที่ C ซื้อ = 1,600 - (10% ของ 1,600) = 1,600 - 160 = 1,440 บาท

นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 1,440 บาท
ราคาต่ำกว่านาย A = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 บาท

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Let's break this down step by step. Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 Baht. He then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% profit on his cost. So, the selling price to Mr. B is 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 Baht. Next, Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% profit on his cost (which is 2,400 Baht). So, the selling price to Mr. C is 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 Baht. Now, we need to find out by what percentage Mr. C's purchase price (2,640 Baht) is higher than Mr. A's purchase price (2,000 Baht), and then determine how much lower Mr. C's price would be if interpreted as a discount. However, the question seems to ask for the percentage difference.

The difference between Mr. C's price and Mr. A's price is 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 Baht. To find the percentage by which Mr. C's price exceeds Mr. A's price relative to Mr. A's price, we calculate (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%. But since the question asks how much "lower" Mr. C bought it compared to Mr. A, it might be a misinterpretation or mistranslation. If we assume it's asking for the effective difference or a calculation error in options, let's recheck the intent. If it's about how much more Mr. C paid, it's 32%, but that's not in the options. Testing the options, it seems there might be a calculation misunderstanding.

Recalculating with the assumption that "ค่าทุน 20%" means markup on cost, which we did, and testing the final difference: Mr. C paid 2,640, Mr. A paid 2,000. If the question is interpreted as how much more percentage-wise, it's not matching options directly. Let's calculate the reverse: if Mr. C paid 2,640 and we want to see the percentage "lower" relative to some context, or perhaps a mistake in problem setup. Testing total profit percentage or combined markup: (2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000 * 100 = 32%, still not matching. If we assume a different interpretation of "ค่าทุน" as selling at cost plus percentage, it's the same. The closest logical answer based on options and rechecking might be a calculation of combined percentage incorrectly by options.

However, if we hypothesize a typo or different intent, let's calculate total markup percentage or effective difference. Testing option logic: if Mr. C paid X% less than a hypothetical price, but directly, difference percentage from 2,000 to 2,640 is 32%, not in options. If question intent is reversed or misread, perhaps it's total profit percentage combined differently. Let's calculate combined markup: 20% then 10% is not simply additive; it's 1.2 * 1.1 = 1.32, or 32% total increase, still 32%. Given options, perhaps a mistake, but closest logical or miscalculation in problem might point to option adjustment.

Upon rethinking, if "ค่าทุน 20%" meant something else or misread, but standard interpretation holds. If we calculate how much less as a reverse percentage (though unusual): Mr. C paid 2,640, if compared to a higher hypothetical, but question says "lower than Mr. A", which Mr. C paid more, so likely a mistranslation to "higher". If it's "higher", 32% isn't in options (a:15, b:18, c:25, d:28, e:30). Closest is 30%, perhaps a rounding or intent.

Final logical check: 20% markup then 10% markup is 32%, closest option e:30 might be intent if approximation or error in problem setup. I'll select e:30 as the closest plausible based on calculation proximity.

First, the question is in Thai. Let me translate it to understand it properly.

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" means "Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht."

"ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – This seems off. "ต่อมูลค่า" might be a typo or misphrasing. I think it's "ต่อมานำไปขายให้นาย B โดยกำไร 20%" or something similar. In context, it probably means "then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% profit" or "at 20% above cost."

The full sentence: "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – I believe it's "then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% markup" or "with a 20% cost increase." But let's assume it's "sells to Mr. B with a 20% profit on cost."

In Thai, "ค่าทุน" means "cost," so "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "at 20% of cost," but that doesn't make sense. Perhaps it's "กำไร 20%" which is 20% profit.

Looking back: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" – This is unclear. In business contexts, it might mean "at 20% above cost."

Then, "และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%" – Similarly, "Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at 10% above cost."

I think the standard interpretation is:

  • Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.

  • Then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% profit on his cost.

  • Mr. B then sells it to Mr. C at a 10% profit on his cost.

And we need to find out how much less Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A, in percentage.

The question says: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" which means "Find out how much cheaper Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A, in percentage."

Mr. C bought it from Mr. B, and Mr. A bought it originally, so Mr. C might have paid more or less? Wait, no, typically in such chains, the price increases.

The question implies Mr. C paid less than what Mr. A paid, which is 2,000 baht, but that might not be the case.

Perhaps it's asking for the percentage difference between what Mr. C paid and what Mr. A paid.

Let me clarify the steps.

Let’s denote:

  • Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht (his cost price).

  • Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at 20% profit on his cost. So, Mr. A's selling price = Cost + 20% of Cost = 2,000 + 0.20 * 2,000 = 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.

  • Now, Mr. B buys it for 2,400 baht (his cost price).

  • Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at 10% profit on his cost. So, Mr. B's selling price = 2,400 + 10% of 2,400 = 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

Mr. C paid 2,640 baht, while Mr. A paid 2,000 baht.

The question is: "how much cheaper did Mr. C buy it compared to Mr. A?" But 2,640 is more than 2,000, so it's not cheaper.

The question says "ราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" which means "price lower than Mr. A's", but 2,640 > 2,000, so it's higher.

Perhaps I misinterpreted. The question is "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" which translates to "Mr. C bought the necklace at a price lower than Mr. A's by how many percent?"

But in my calculation, it's higher, not lower. That doesn't make sense.

Perhaps the phrasing is wrong. Maybe it's asking for how much more, or perhaps I have the profit wrong.

Another possibility: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean something else. In some contexts, "ค่าทุน 20%" could mean at 20% of the original cost or something, but that seems unlikely.

Perhaps it's a discount or something. The word is "ค่าทุน", which is cost, and "โดย" means "by" or "at".

Let's double-check the original: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" – perhaps it's "at 20% cost", but that doesn't clarify.

Another thought: in some Thai contexts, it might mean the selling price is 20% above cost, which is what I assumed.

But then, Mr. C paid more, not less.

The question implies it's lower, and the options are positive percentages like 15,18, etc.

Perhaps it's asking for the percentage that Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A, but as a discount from some point.

Maybe the question is to find how much less Mr. C paid relative to what he would have if bought directly, but no.

Let's read carefully: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" – "Find how many percent Mr. C bought the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

But in reality, it's not cheaper.

Perhaps the sequence is different. Let's look back: "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – "then gives it to Mr. B at cost 20%" – "gives" might mean sells at a discount.

In Thai, "ต่อให้" can mean "give" or "sell to", but in context, it's probably "sell to".

Another idea: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean at 20% of the cost, so a big discount.

For example, Mr. A sells to Mr. B at 20% of his cost, so 20% of 2,000 = 400 baht.

Then, Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% of his cost, so 10% of 400 = 40 baht.

Then, Mr. C paid 40 baht, which is less than Mr. A's 2,000, so the difference is (2,000 - 40)/2,000 * 100% = a large percentage.

But the options are up to 30, so perhaps.

If Mr. B's cost is 400, and he sells at 10% of his cost, 10% of 400 = 40, yes.

Then, Mr. C paid 40, Mr. A paid 2,000, so Mr. C paid less by (2,000 - 40)/2,000 = 1,960/2,000 = 98%, but that's not in the options.

The question is "ราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์", which means "how many percent lower than Mr. A's price", so the percentage by which Mr. C's price is lower than Mr. A's.

So, ((Mr. A's price - Mr. C's price) / Mr. A's price) * 100% = ((2000 - 40)/2000)*100% = 98%, but options are 15,18, etc.

So, that can't be.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means at 20% profit, but maybe it's 20% of the selling price or something, but that's complicated.

Another possibility: in some contexts, "costs 20%" means the markup is 20% on selling price, but that's less common.

Perhaps it's a typo, and it's "กำไร 20%" which is profit 20%.

But let's assume my first calculation is correct, and the question is to find the percentage more, but the question says "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower.

Perhaps the question is to find how much less the final price is compared to something else, but no.

Let's think differently. Maybe "ค่าทุน 20%" means the selling price is the cost minus 20%, i.e., at a 20% discount.

That could be it.

So, Mr. A buys for 2,000 and sells to Mr. B at 20% discount on his cost, so selling price = 2,000 - 20% of 2,000 = 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.

Then, Mr. B buys for 1,600 and sells to Mr. C at 10% discount on his cost, so selling price = 1,600 - 10% of 1,600 = 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

Mr. C paid 1,440, Mr. A paid 2,000, so Mr. C paid less by (2,000 - 1,440)/2,000 * 100% = 560/2,000 * 100% = 28%.

And 28% is one of the options: d:"28"

That matches.

So, probably, "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means at a 20% discount on cost.

In Thai, "ค่าทุน" is cost, and "โดย" could mean "at", so perhaps "at 20% of cost" but that would be too low, as I thought earlier.

If it's at 20% discount, that fits.

Perhaps it's "with 20% cost", but I think the discount interpretation works because it gives 28%, which is an option.

So, let's go with that.

Therefore, calculation:

Mr. A sells to Mr. B at 20% discount: 2,000 * (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.

Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% discount: 1,600 * (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

Percentage cheaper for Mr. C compared to Mr. A: [(Mr. A's price - Mr. C's price) / Mr. A's price] * 100% = [(2000 - 1440) / 2000] * 100% = [560 / 2000] * 100% = 0.28 * 100% = 28%.

So, the answer is 28, which is option d.

Great.

Explanation:

คำถามนี้เกี่ยวกับการคำนวณราคาสร้อยที่นาย A ซื้อในราคา 2,000 บาท แล้วขายให้นาย B โดยลดราคา 20% จากต้นทุน และนาย B ขายให้นาย C โดยลดราคา 10% จากต้นทุนของนาย B เราต้องหาว่าราคาที่นาย C ซื้อนั้นถูกกว่าราคาที่นาย A ซื้อกี่เปอร์เซ็นต์

  • นาย A ซื้อในราคา 2,000 บาท และขายให้นาย B โดยลด 20% จากต้นทุน: 2,000 × (1 - 0.20) = 2,000 × 0.80 = 1,600 บาท
  • นาย B ซื้อในราคา 1,600 บาท และขายให้นาย C โดยลด 10% จากต้นทุน: 1,600 × (1 - 0.10) = 1,600 × 0.90 = 1,440 บาท
  • ราคาที่นาย C ซื้อ (1,440 บาท) ถูกกว่าราคาที่นาย A ซื้อ (2,000 บาท) โดยเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ถูกกว่า = [(2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000] × 100% = [560 / 2,000] × 100% = 28%

ดังนั้น คำตอบคือ 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

First, the question is in Thai. Let me translate it to understand:

"นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" means "Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht."

"ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – This seems off. "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean "then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% cost" or perhaps "at 20% profit" or "markup". In Thai, "ค่าทุน" means "cost", so it could be "sells to Mr. B with a 20% cost basis" but that doesn't make sense. I think it's "sells to Mr. B at a 20% profit on cost".

In business contexts, "ขายโดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean selling at 20% above cost, i.e., a 20% markup.

Then, "และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10%" means "and then Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% cost" or similarly, 10% markup.

Finally, "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" means "Find out how much percent lower the price Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A."

So, to clarify:

  • Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht. This is his cost price.

  • Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at a 20% markup on his cost. So, Mr. A's selling price = his cost + 20% of his cost = 2,000 + 0.20 * 2,000 = 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.

  • Mr. B buys it for 2,400 baht, which is his cost.

  • Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a 10% markup on his cost. So, Mr. B's selling price = his cost + 10% of his cost = 2,400 + 0.10 * 2,400 = 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

The question asks how much percent lower is the price Mr. C paid compared to what Mr. A paid. Mr. C paid 2,640 baht, and Mr. A paid 2,000 baht. But 2,640 is higher than 2,000, so it's not lower.

That doesn't make sense. The question says "นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A" which means "Mr. C buys the necklace at a price lower than Mr. A by how many percent?"

But in my calculation, Mr. C paid more. Perhaps I misinterpreted.

The question is: "how many percent lower is the price Mr. C bought compared to Mr. A?" But logically, it's higher.

Perhaps the phrasing is wrong. Let me double-check the original: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" which translates to "Find how many percent Mr. C bought the necklace cheaper than Mr. A."

But in reality, it's not cheaper. Unless I have the markups wrong.

Another possibility: "โดยค่าทุน 20%" might mean something else. In some contexts, it could mean selling at 20% of cost, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps it's a discount or something. The word is "ค่าทุน" which is cost, but in the context of selling, it might mean markup.

Perhaps it's "at 20% cost price", but that doesn't clarify.

Let's think differently. Maybe "ขายโดยค่าทุน 20%" means selling at 20% profit, which is what I assumed.

But then, Mr. C pays more, so the percentage lower would be negative, which doesn't make sense for the options.

The options are positive percentages: 15, 18, 25, 28, 30.

Perhaps the question is asking for how much more, but it says "ต่ำกว่า" which means lower.

Another idea: maybe "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท" is the original price, and then they sell at discounts.

The phrase is "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" – "ต่อมูลค่า" might be a typo or misphrasing. In Thai, "ต่อ" can mean "then" or "sell on".

Perhaps it's "ขายให้นาย B โดยกำไร 20%" but it's written as "ค่าทุน 20%".

Let's assume it's a markup as I did.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means the selling price is 20% of the cost, which would be ridiculous: Mr. A sells to B for 20% of 2,000 = 400 baht.

Then Mr. B sells to C at 10% of his cost, which is 10% of 400 = 40 baht.

Then Mr. C buys for 40 baht, which is lower than Mr. A's 2,000 baht.

The percentage lower: (2,000 - 40) / 2,000 * 100% = 1,960 / 2,000 * 100% = 98%, but that's not in the options.

That doesn't match.

Perhaps "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means at 80% of cost, i.e., a 20% discount.

That might make more sense.

Let me try that interpretation: Mr. A buys for 2,000 and sells to B at 20% discount, so selling price = 2,000 - 20% of 2,000 = 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.

Then Mr. B sells to C at 10% discount on his cost, so Mr. B's cost is 1,600, sells at 10% discount: 1,600 - 10% of 1,600 = 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

Mr. C buys for 1,440 baht, which is lower than Mr. A's 2,000 baht.

Percentage lower: [(2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000] * 100% = (560 / 2,000) * 100% = 28%.

And 28 is one of the options: d: "28"

That matches!

So, probably, "โดยค่าทุน 20%" means at a 20% discount on cost, or something similar. In some contexts, it might be phrased that way.

Perhaps in Thai business language, it means selling at 20% below cost.

Based on this calculation, it works out to 28%.

So, the correct answer is 28, which is option D.

Confirming the options: a:15, b:18, c:25, d:28, e:30

Yes, d:28

Therefore, the correct answer key is "d".

    เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ถูกกว่า = [(2,000 - 1,440) / 2,000] × 100% = (560 / 2,000) × 100% = 28%

ดังนั้น คำตอบที่ถูกต้องคือตัวเลือก D (28)

{ "correct_answer_key": "d" }

Let's break this down step by step. Mr. A buys a necklace for 2,000 Baht. He then sells it to Mr. B at a 20% profit on his cost. So, Mr. A's selling price to Mr. B is 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 Baht. Next, Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% profit on his cost (which is 2,400 Baht). So, Mr. B's selling price to Mr. C is 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 Baht. Now, we need to find out by what percentage Mr. C's purchase price (2,640 Baht) is lower than Mr. A's purchase price (2,000 Baht). However, since 2,640 is higher than 2,000, it seems the question might be asking for the percentage increase or there could be a misunderstanding in the phrasing. Assuming the intent is to find the percentage difference relative to Mr. A's price: the difference is 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 Baht. The percentage increase from Mr. A's price is (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%. But since the options don't include 32%, and considering the question might imply a discount or error in interpretation, let's check the reverse (how much lower Mr. A's price is compared to Mr. C's). However, the question clearly asks for how much lower Mr. C's price is compared to Mr. A's, which results in a negative or zero difference, but since it's not lower, it might be a misinterpretation.

Upon reviewing the options (15, 18, 25, 28, 30), and considering possible miscalculation or intent, let's assume the question might have a typo or different context. If we consider cumulative profit or effective percentage, it still doesn't match. Another approach: if "ค่าทุน 20%" and "ค่าทุน 10%" meant selling below cost (discount), then Mr. A sells to Mr. B at 2,000 - (20% of 2,000) = 1,600 Baht, and Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 1,600 - (10% of 1,600) = 1,440 Baht. Then, Mr. C's price (1,440) compared to Mr. A's (2,000) is lower by 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 Baht. The percentage lower is (560 / 2,000) * 100 = 28%.

Given the options, 28% fits, so the answer is likely based on interpreting "ค่าทุน" as selling below cost (discount) rather than profit, which might be a contextual or translation nuance.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Mr. A buys for 2,000 baht, sells to Mr. B at 20% loss (1,600 baht). Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% loss (1,440 baht). Mr. C's price is 28% lower than Mr. A's.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

นาย A ซื้อสร้อย 2,000 บาท
นาย B ซื้อต่อจาก A โดยได้กำไร 20 % → 2,000 × 1.2 = 2,400 บาท
นาย C ซื้อต่อจาก B โดยได้กำไร 10 % → 2,400 × 1.1 = 2,640 บาท

ราคาที่ C จ่ายมากกว่า A อยู่ 640 บาท
ส่วนต่างเทียบกับราคา A: (640 / 2,000) × 100 % = 32 %

แต่คำถามถามว่า “ราคาต่ำกว่า … กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์” ซึ่งหมายถึงส่วนลดจากราคา C ถ้าเทียบกับราคา A จะได้
(2,640 – 2,000) / 2,640 × 100 % ≈ 24.24 % ซึ่งใกล้เคียง 25 % ที่สุดในตัวเลือก

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท และขายให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% ดังนั้น นาย B จึงซื้อสร้อยจากนาย A ในราคา 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 บาท

จากนั้น นาย B ขายสร้อยต่อนาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% ดังนั้น นาย C จึงซื้อสร้อยจากนาย B ในราคา 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 บาท

เนื่องจากนาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท และนาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,640 บาท ซึ่งสูงกว่านาย A จึงไม่สามารถคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่านาย A ได้ แต่หากต้องการคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่สูงกว่า จะได้ (2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000 * 100% = 32%

อย่างไรก็ตาม หากต้องการหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา "ต่ำกว่า" นาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ จะต้องคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่า ซึ่งในกรณีนี้ไม่สามารถทำได้ เนื่องจากนาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา "สูงกว่า" ไม่ใช่ "ต่ำกว่า" นาย A

ดังนั้น ไม่มีคำตอบที่ถูกต้องในตัวเลือกที่ให้มา แต่คำตอบที่ใกล้เคียงที่สุดคือคำตอบที่บ่งชี้ว่าไม่มีการลดราคา ซึ่งไม่มีในตัวเลือกที่ให้มา

หากต้องการคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่สูงกว่า จะได้ 32% ซึ่งไม่ใช่ตัวเลือกที่ให้มา แต่หากต้องเลือกคำตอบจากตัวเลือกที่ให้มา อาจจะเลือกคำตอบที่บ่งชี้ว่าไม่มีการลดราคาหรือเลือกคำตอบที่ใกล้เคียงที่สุด

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the price at which each person buys and sells the item.

  1. นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 THB.
  2. นาย A sells it to นาย B at a 20% profit.
    • Profit = 20% of 2,000 = 0.20 * 2,000 = 400 THB.
    • Selling price to นาย B = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 THB.
  3. นาย B sells it to นาย C at a 10% profit.
    • Profit = 10% of 2,400 = 0.10 * 2,400 = 240 THB.
    • Selling price to นาย C = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 THB.

Now, we compare the price นาย C paid (2,640 THB) to the original price นาย A paid (2,000 THB).

Percentage change = ((Original Price - New Price) / Original Price) * 100 is not applicable here as we're comparing the final price to the initial, and the final price is higher. Instead, we directly calculate the percentage increase or compare the difference as a percentage of the original price.

Percentage difference = ((2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000) * 100 = (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%. However, the question asks how much less นาย C paid compared to นาย A as a percentage, which implies we're looking for a discount or a decrease, but the transaction resulted in an increase.

To directly address the question with the given options, let's correctly interpret it as calculating the percentage less or more: The actual task is to understand that the question is asking for a comparison that doesn't directly apply due to the increase. However, if we were to directly compare or look for an equivalent "discount" in reverse, none of the given choices directly relate to a straightforward percentage decrease since the final price is higher.

Let's directly check the given options by calculating the percentage less that นาย C paid compared to the final price or interpreting the available choices.

The actual task here is to see the percentage change from A's original buying price to C's buying price. Since C paid more, not less, we directly see there's been an increase.

To directly solve based on given choices and understand the "percentage less" in a relative context isn't directly applicable. The closest interpretation involves understanding the chain of transactions.

However, a straightforward interpretation involves directly checking the percentage change or difference.

Given the closest interpretation and directly checking:

  • The actual percentage more that C paid is 32% ((2640-2000)/2000 * 100).

Let's directly check if any of the given options can be related to a "less" scenario or a misinterpretation:

  • To find a "less" scenario or related percentage, we directly check the options.

The best match or related interpretation isn't directly available; the closest related calculation is the total percentage change.

Let's directly check an alternative interpretation or related percentage:

แต่คำถามถามว่า นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ ดังนั้นเราต้องคำนวณส่วนต่างที่ นาย C จ่ายมากกว่านาย A ในรูปของเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่น้อยกว่า:

ราคาที่นาย A จ่ายคือ 2,000 บาท และราคาที่นาย C จ่ายคือ 2,640 บาท ส่วนต่างเปอร์เซ็นต์ = ((2640-2000)/2000)*100) = 32%

คำตอบที่ถูกคือ นาย C จ่ายมากกว่านาย A 32% แต่คำถามถามว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ คำตอบที่ถูกคือ ไม่มีในตัวเลือก แต่เราสามารถคำนวณได้ว่านาย C จ่ายแพงกว่านาย A 32%

แต่ถ้าดูจากตัวเลือก คำตอบที่ถูกควรเป็น นาย C ซื้อแพงกว่านาย A 32% ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อแพงกว่านาย A ไม่ใช่ต่ำกว่า

คำตอบที่ถูกคือ c 28 ไม่ใช่ แต่ 32 หาร 2 เท่ากับ 28 ไม่ถุกต้อง แต่ 32 หาร 2 เท่ากับ 16 คูณ 2 เท่ากับ 28 ไม่ถุกต้อง แต่ 32 เปอร์เซ็นต์ เท่ากับ 28 ไม่ถุกต้อง แต่ 32เปอร์เซ็นต์ คูณ 0.8 เท่ากับ 25.6 เปอร์เซ็นต์

Let's break down the problem step by step:

  1. Initial Purchase by นาย A:

    • นาย A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. First Markup by นาย B:

    • นาย B adds a 20% markup to the cost.
    • Markup = 20% of 2,000 baht = 0.20 * 2,000 = 400 baht.
    • New price = 2,000 baht + 400 baht = 2,400 baht.
  3. Second Markup by นาย B:

    • นาย B then adds a 10% markup to the new price.
    • Markup = 10% of 2,400 baht = 0.10 * 2,400 = 240 baht.
    • Final price for นาย C = 2,400 baht + 240 baht = 2,640 baht.
  4. Calculating the Percentage Difference:

    • The difference in price = 2,640 baht - 2,000 baht = 640 baht.
    • Percentage difference = (640 baht / 2,000 baht) * 100 = 32%.

However, the question asks how much cheaper นาย C bought the necklace compared to นาย A, which means we need to find the percentage decrease from 2,000 baht to 2,640 baht.

  • Percentage decrease = ((2,640 baht - 2,000 baht) / 2,640 baht) * 100
  • Percentage decrease = (640 baht / 2,640 baht) * 100 ≈ 24.24%

This does not match any of the given options exactly. Let's recheck the steps to ensure accuracy:

  1. นาย A buys for 2,000 baht.
  2. นาย B adds 20% markup: 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.
  3. นาย B adds 10% markup: 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.
  4. The difference is 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht.
  5. The percentage increase is (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

The correct interpretation should be the percentage decrease from the perspective of นาย C:

  • Percentage decrease = ((2,640 - 2,000) / 2,640) * 100 ≈ 24.24%

Given the options, the closest match is not directly provided. However, based on the initial interpretation:

  • นาย C buys at 2,640 baht, which is 32% more than 2,000 baht.

Thus, the closest option is:

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

To determine the percentage difference in the price paid by Mr. C compared to Mr. A, we need to calculate the prices at each transaction step.

  1. Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 THB with a 20% markup, so he pays: ( 2000 + (2000 \times 0.20) = 2000 + 400 = 2400 ) THB.

  2. Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C with a 10% markup on the price he paid (2400 THB): ( 2400 + (2400 \times 0.10) = 2400 + 240 = 2640 ) THB.

  3. To find the percentage difference between the price Mr. C pays and the price Mr. A paid: ( \frac{2640 - 2000}{2000} \times 100% = \frac{640}{2000} \times 100% = 32% ).

However, the question asks for how much less Mr. C pays compared to Mr. A, which is: ( 32% ) less, meaning Mr. C pays ( 100% - 32% = 68% ) of what Mr. A paid.

The percentage difference in the price paid by Mr. C compared to Mr. A is: ( 100% - 68% = 32% ).

But since the options provided are asking for how much less Mr. C pays, we need to find the option that matches the percentage difference calculated: ( 100% - 68% = 32% ) is not directly listed, but the closest option that represents the percentage difference is 28%.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the final selling price for each transaction and then determine the percentage difference between the final price paid by Mr. C and the initial price paid by Mr. A.

  1. Initial Purchase by Mr. A:

    • Mr. A buys the bracelet for 2,000 baht.
  2. Sale from Mr. A to Mr. B:

    • Mr. A sells it at a 20% profit.
    • Profit = 20% of 2,000 baht = 0.20 * 2,000 = 400 baht.
    • Selling price to Mr. B = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.
  3. Sale from Mr. B to Mr. C:

    • Mr. B sells it at a 10% profit.
    • Profit = 10% of 2,400 baht = 0.10 * 2,400 = 240 baht.
    • Selling price to Mr. C = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.
  4. Percentage Difference:

    • The difference in price between what Mr. C paid and what Mr. A initially paid = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht.
    • To find the percentage difference relative to Mr. A's initial price: [ \text{Percentage difference} = \left( \frac{640}{2000} \right) \times 100% = 32% ]
    • However, we need to find how much less Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A's initial price: [ \text{Percentage less} = 100% - 32% = 68% ]
    • To find the percentage by which Mr. C paid less: [ \text{Percentage less} = \left( \frac{2000 - 2640}{2000} \right) \times 100% = \left( \frac{-640}{2000} \right) \times 100% = -32% ]
    • To find the percentage by which Mr. C paid more than Mr. A initially: [ \text{Percentage more} = \left( \frac{2640 - 2000}{2000} \right) \times 100% = \left( \frac{640}{2000} \right) \times 100% = 32% ]
    • To find the percentage by which Mr. C paid less than Mr. A in terms of the final price: [ \text{Percentage less} = \left( \frac{2000 - 2640}{2640} \right) \times 100% = \left( \frac{-640}{2640} \right) \times 100% \approx 24.24% ]

Given the options, the closest match is 25%.

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

To determine the percentage difference in the price paid by Mr. C compared to Mr. A, we need to calculate the final price Mr. C pays and compare it to the original price Mr. A paid.

  1. Mr. A buys the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. Mr. A sells it to Mr. B with a 20% markup:
    • Markup amount = 2,000 * 0.20 = 400 baht
    • Selling price to Mr. B = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht
  3. Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% markup:
    • Markup amount = 2,400 * 0.10 = 240 baht
    • Selling price to Mr. C = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht

Now, we compare the final price Mr. C pays (2,640 baht) to the original price Mr. A paid (2,000 baht):

  • Difference in price = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht
  • Percentage difference = (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%

However, the question asks for how much less Mr. C paid compared to Mr. A in percentage terms, which seems to be a misunderstanding in the question's phrasing. Given the options, it seems the question intends to ask for the percentage decrease from the highest price (2,640 baht) to the original price (2,000 baht).

Correcting for this, we find the percentage decrease from 2,640 to 2,000:

  • Percentage decrease = ((2,640 - 2,000) / 2,640) * 100 ≈ 24.24%

Given the options, the closest match and likely intended answer is 25%.

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

นาย A ซื้อมาที่ 2,000 บาท จากนั้นนาย B ต่อราคา (ลด) 20% ทำให้ราคาที่นาย B จ่าย = 2,000 - (20% ของ 2,000) = 1,600 บาท
ต่อมานาย B ขายให้นาย C โดยลดจากต้นทุนอีก 10%
ดังนั้นราคาที่นาย C จ่าย = 1,600 - (10% ของ 1,600) = 1,440 บาท

นาย C จ่ายต่ำกว่านาย A = 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 บาท

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Explanation: นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท หลังจากนั้น นาย A ขายให้กับนาย B โดยหักค่าทุน 20% หมายความว่า นาย A ได้รับเงิน = 2,000 – (20% ของ 2,000) = 2,000 – 400 = 1,600 บาท จากนั้นนาย B นำสร้อยไปขายให้กับนาย C โดยหักค่าทุน 10% ซึ่งคำนวณได้ = 1,600 – (10% ของ 1,600) = 1,600 – 160 = 1,440 บาท
ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 1,440 บาท ซึ่งต่ำกว่านาย A ที่จ่ายไป 2,000 บาท ลดลงไปจำนวน 2,000 – 1,440 = 560 บาท
คำนวณเป็นเปอร์เซ็นต์ = (560/2,000) × 100 = 28%

{"correct_answer_key": "d"}

First, interpret the transactions as selling at a discount (i.e. selling below the cost price). Mr. A bought the necklace for 2,000 baht. Then he sells it to Mr. B at a 20% discount. That means Mr. B pays: 2,000 – 20% of 2,000 = 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 baht. Next, Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% discount on his purchase price. Thus, Mr. C pays: 1,600 – 10% of 1,600 = 1,600 × 0.9 = 1,440 baht.

Now, the reduction in price from what Mr. A originally paid is 2,000 – 1,440 = 560 baht. In terms of percentage, 560 is (560/2000) × 100 = 28% of 2,000.

Therefore, Mr. C bought the necklace at 28% lower than what Mr. A paid.

{"correct_answer_key": "d"}

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท หลังจากนั้นนาย A ขายสร้อยให้กับนาย B โดยลดราคา 20% จากราคา 2,000 บาท ผลคือราคาขายให้นาย B = 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 บาท จากนั้นนาย B ขายสร้อยให้นาย C โดยลดเพิ่มอีก 10% จากราคาที่ได้ คือ 1,600 × 0.9 = 1,440 บาท

ความต่างระหว่างราคาที่นาย A ซื้อ (2,000 บาท) กับราคาที่นาย C ได้ (1,440 บาท) เท่ากับ 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 บาท ซึ่งคิดเป็น (560/2,000) × 100 = 28%

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท และต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% ดังนั้น นาย B ซื้อสร้อยได้ราคา:

[ \text{ราคาที่นาย B ซื้อ} = 2,000 + (0.20 \times 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 \text{ บาท} ]

นาย B จากนั้นขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยได้ราคา:

[ \text{ราคาที่นาย C ซื้อ} = 2,400 + (0.10 \times 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 \text{ บาท} ]

เพื่อหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ เราต้องหาความแตกต่างระหว่างราคาที่นาย A ซื้อและราคาที่นาย C ซื้อ แล้วหารด้วยราคาที่นาย A ซื้อ:

[ \text{ความแตกต่าง} = 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 \text{ บาท} ]

[ \text{เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่า} = \left( \frac{640}{2,000} \right) \times 100% = 32% ]

อย่างไรก็ตาม คำถามของเราคือว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ ซึ่งหมายความว่าเราต้องหาเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่นาย C ซื้อสูงกว่านาย A แล้วลบจาก 100%:

[ \text{เปอร์เซ็นต์ที่สูงกว่า} = \left( \frac{640}{2,400} \right) \times 100% = 26.67% ]

ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาสูงกว่านาย B 26.67% หรือเทียบเท่ากับว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A 28% (เนื่องจาก 100% - 72% = 28%)

ดังนั้น คำตอบที่ถูกต้องคือ 28% ซึ่งตรงกับตัวเลือก D.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the percentage difference between the price Mr. A originally paid for the necklace and the price Mr. C paid for it.

  1. Step 1: Mr. A → Mr. B

    • Mr. A sells the necklace to Mr. B at a 20% markup.
    • Cost to Mr. B = 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 baht.
  2. Step 2: Mr. B → Mr. C

    • Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% markup.
    • Cost to Mr. C = 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 baht.
  3. Step 3: Percentage difference

    • Mr. A originally paid 2,000 baht, but Mr. C paid 2,640 baht.
    • The price Mr. C paid is higher than what Mr. A paid, so the question contains an error in framing (it asks for "lower" but the result is "higher").
    • Percentage difference = ((2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000) × 100 = (640 / 2,000) × 100 = 32% higher.

Since none of the options match this calculation, the question likely contains an inconsistency. However, based on the closest option and rechecking, the correct lower percentage difference would be 18%.

{"correct_answer_key":"b"}

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 บาท ขายให้นาย B ด้วย "ค่าทุน 20%" ซึ่งตีความว่าเป็นการขายลดราคา 20% (ไม่ใช่กำไร) ทำให้นาย B จ่าย 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 บาท จากนั้นนาย B ขายให้นาย C ด้วย "ค่าทุน 10%" (ลดราคาอีก 10%) ทำให้นาย C จ่าย 1,600 × 0.9 = 1,440 บาท ดังนั้น ราคาที่นาย C จ่ายต่ำกว่านาย A อยู่ (2,000 - 1,440)/2,000 × 100 = 28%

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

Okay, let's tackle this problem step by step. First, I need to understand what's being asked here. The question is in Thai, so I'll translate it to make sure I get all the details right.

So, Mr. A buys a necklace worth 2,000 baht. Then, he sells it to Mr. B at a cost price of 20%. Wait, "cost price" here might be a bit confusing. Maybe it means he sold it at a 20% profit? Or is it a 20% markup? Hmm, the wording says "ค่าทุน 20%", which translates to "cost 20%". That might actually mean he sold it at a 20% profit over his cost price. Because "cost price" is ทุน, so selling at cost plus 20%? Let me confirm that.

Alternatively, maybe it's a 20% increase on the original price. Let's see. The original price is 2000 baht. If he sells it to B with a 20% profit, then the selling price would be 2000 + 20% of 2000 = 2400 baht. So Mr. B buys it for 2400.

Then, Mr. B sells it to Mr. C at a cost price of 10%. Again, "cost price 10%". So maybe Mr. B's cost is 2400, and he sells it at a 10% profit? Or is it a 10% discount? Wait, the problem says "ค่าทุน 10%", same structure as before. So perhaps it's a 10% profit for Mr. B. So his selling price would be 2400 + 10% of 2400 = 2640 baht. Wait, but that would be a 10% increase. Alternatively, maybe it's a 10% discount? But the wording seems similar to the first part where it was a profit.

Alternatively, maybe "cost price" here refers to the selling price being 110% of his cost? Because if it's a 10% profit, then yes. So Mr. B's selling price to C is 2400 * 1.10 = 2640.

Now, the question is asking: How much percent less did Mr. C pay compared to Mr. A's original price? So Mr. A's original price was 2000, and Mr. C paid 2640? Wait, that can't be right because then the answer would be a negative percentage, which doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe I made a mistake here.

Wait, hold on. Let me re-examine the problem again. The original question says: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" which translates to "Find how much percent less Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A's price." So if Mr. C paid more than Mr. A, that can't be. So perhaps I misunderstood the profit percentages.

Wait, maybe the first transaction is a 20% loss? Because if it's "cost price 20%", maybe he sold it at a 20% loss? Let me think again. The term "ค่าทุน" is cost price. So if he sells at cost price plus 20%, that's a 20% profit. But if it's selling at cost price minus 20%, that's a 20% loss. The problem says "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%". The phrasing might be ambiguous. Alternatively, maybe the selling price is 20% of the cost? That would be a huge loss. Hmm, this is a bit confusing.

Alternatively, perhaps the problem is using "cost price" as the base, so selling at a 20% profit. Let me try that again.

Mr. A buys for 2000. Sells to B at 20% profit: 2000 * 1.2 = 2400. Then Mr. B sells to C at 10% profit on his cost (2400). So 2400 * 1.1 = 2640. But then C paid 2640, which is higher than A's original 2000. The question is asking how much less C paid than A? That can't be. So maybe I have the percentages wrong.

Alternatively, maybe the percentages are discounts. Let's try that. If Mr. A sells to B at a 20% discount, then the selling price is 2000 * 0.8 = 1600. Then Mr. B sells to C at a 10% discount on his cost (1600), so 1600 * 0.9 = 1440. Then C paid 1440, which is less than A's original 2000. The difference is 2000 - 1440 = 560. To find the percentage less: (560 / 2000)*100 = 28%. That would be option d. But the options given are a:15, b:18, c:25, d:28, e:30. So 28 is an option. But I need to confirm if the interpretation is correct.

Wait, the problem says "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%". The term "ค่าทุน 20%" might mean that the selling price is 20% of the original value? That would be a big discount. But that would be 2000 * 0.2 = 400, which seems too low. Alternatively, maybe the profit is 20% of the selling price? That's another way to calculate profit. Let me think.

Alternatively, perhaps the problem is using cost price as the original price. So when Mr. A sells to B at a cost of 20%, maybe that's a 20% markup on cost. Wait, but the original cost for A is 2000. So a 20% markup would be 2400. Then B sells at 10% markup on his cost (2400) to get 2640. But again, that's higher than A's original price, which contradicts the question's requirement.

Hmm, maybe I need to re-express the problem in another way. Let me parse the Thai sentence again carefully.

Original question: "นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% และต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์"

Breaking it down:

  • Mr. A buys the necklace worth 2000 baht.
  • Then, he transfers the value to Mr. B at cost 20%.
  • Then, the value of Mr. B sells the necklace to Mr. C at cost 10%.
  • Find how much percent less Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A's price.

Wait, maybe "ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20%" means that the transfer (selling) to B is at a cost of 20%? Or perhaps the selling price is 20% of the cost? Or 20% profit?

Alternatively, maybe "ค่าทุน 20%" means that the profit is 20% of the cost. So for Mr. A selling to B:

Cost price for A is 2000. If profit is 20% of cost, then selling price is 2000 + 0.22000 = 2400. Then B's cost is 2400. Then B sells to C at a profit of 10% of his cost (2400). So selling price is 2400 + 0.12400 = 2640. But then C paid more than A's original price, so the question is asking how much less, which doesn't make sense. So this can't be right.

Alternatively, maybe the profit percentages are on the selling price. Let's try that.

For Mr. A selling to B:

Let SP be the selling price. Profit is 20% of SP. So:

Profit = 0.2 SP

But cost price (CP) for A is 2000, so:

SP = CP + Profit = 2000 + 0.2 SP

=> SP - 0.2 SP = 2000

0.8 SP = 2000

SP = 2000 / 0.8 = 2500

So B buys it for 2500.

Then B sells to C with a 10% profit on SP:

Let SP2 be the selling price to C. Profit is 10% of SP2.

CP for B is 2500, so:

SP2 = 2500 + 0.1 SP2

0.9 SP2 = 2500

SP2 = 2500 / 0.9 ≈ 2777.78

Again, higher than A's original price. Not helpful.

Hmm, maybe the problem is that the percentages are actually discounts instead of profits. Let me try that.

If Mr. A sells to B at a 20% discount on the original price (2000):

Discount = 2000 * 0.2 = 400, so SP = 2000 - 400 = 1600.

Then B sells to C at a 10% discount on his cost (1600):

Discount = 1600 * 0.1 = 160, so SP = 1600 - 160 = 1440.

Now, C paid 1440, which is less than A's original 2000. The difference is 2000 - 1440 = 560.

To find the percentage less: (560 / 2000) * 100 = 28%. That matches option d.

But why would the problem use "ค่าทุน" which means cost price, in the context of a discount? Maybe the term is being used differently here. Alternatively, perhaps the problem is using "cost price" as the original price, and the percentages are discounts from that.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is that when it says "by cost 20%", it means that the selling price is 20% higher than the cost. Wait, but that would be a profit. Let me think again.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is using "cost" as the selling price. Wait, that might not make sense.

Alternatively, perhaps the problem is that the first transaction is a 20% loss. So Mr. A sells at a 20% loss on his cost (2000). So selling price is 2000 * 0.8 = 1600. Then B sells at a 10% loss on his cost (1600), so 1600 * 0.9 = 1440. Then same as before, 28% less.

But why would the problem say "cost 20%" for a loss? Maybe "cost" here refers to the profit margin. Hmm, this is a bit ambiguous.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is using "cost" as the original value, and the percentages are applied to that. So for Mr. A selling to B, the price is 2000 - 20% of 2000 = 1600. Then B sells to C at 10% off his price, so 1600 - 10% of 1600 = 1440. So again, 28% less than original.

Given that 28 is an option (d), and the calculation leads there, I think that's the answer. The key is interpreting the percentages as discounts from the previous price. The term "ค่าทุน" might be a bit confusing, but given the context and the answer options, this seems plausible.

So the steps are:

  1. A's original price: 2000
  2. A sells to B at 20% discount: 2000 * 0.8 = 1600
  3. B sells to C at 10% discount on B's price: 1600 * 0.9 = 1440
  4. Difference from A's original price: 2000 - 1440 = 560
  5. Percentage: (560 / 2000) * 100 = 28%

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 28.

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยราคา 2,000 บาท แล้วขายต่อนาย B ด้วยการลดราคา 20% ของราคาต้นทุน (2,000 บาท) จึงได้ราคาขายเป็น 2,000 × 0.8 = 1,600 บาท จากนั้นนาย B ขายต่อนาย C ด้วยการลดราคา 10% ของราคาที่ซื้อมา (1,600 บาท) จึงได้ราคาขายเป็น 1,600 × 0.9 = 1,440 บาท ราคาที่นาย C จ่ายน้อยกว่านาย A คือ 2,000 − 1,440 = 560 บาท คิดเป็นร้อยละ (560/2,000) × 100 = 28% ดังนั้นคำตอบคือตัวเลือก d.

{"correct_answer_key":"d"}

นาย A ซื้อสร้อยมูลค่า 2,000 บาท ต่อมูลค่าต่อให้นาย B โดยค่าทุน 20% หมายความว่านาย B ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,000 + (2,000 * 0.20) = 2,000 + 400 = 2,400 บาท

ต่อมูลค่านาย B ขายสร้อยต่อให้นาย C โดยค่าทุน 10% หมายความว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,400 + (2,400 * 0.10) = 2,400 + 240 = 2,640 บาท

นาย C ซื้อสร้อยในราคา 2,640 บาท ซึ่งต่ำกว่านาย A ที่ซื้อในราคา 2,000 บาท ดังนั้นเราต้องหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์

การคำนวณเปอร์เซ็นต์ที่ต่ำกว่า: (2,000 - 2,640) / 2,000 * 100 = -640 / 2,000 * 100 = -32%

แต่เนื่องจากคำถามถามว่าราคาต่ำกว่ากี่เปอร์เซ็นต์ เราจึงต้องเปลี่ยนสัญญาณเป็นบวก: 32%

ดังนั้น นาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A 32% แต่ไม่มีตัวเลือกนี้ในคำถาม ดังนั้นเราจะเลือกตัวเลือกที่ใกล้เคียงที่สุด

{"correct_answer_key":"c"}

Alright! Let's tackle this problem step by step.

First, we need to understand the transactions between the three parties: Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C. The necklace originally costs Mr. A 2,000 baht. Mr. A sells it to Mr. B at a cost that includes a 20% markup. Then, Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% markup on his cost. We need to find out what percentage lower Mr. C's purchase price is compared to Mr. A's original cost.

Starting with Mr. A's cost: 2,000 baht. When Mr. A sells to Mr. B with a 20% markup, the selling price becomes 2,000 + (20% of 2,000) = 2,400 baht. So, Mr. B buys it for 2,400 baht.

Next, Mr. B sells it to Mr. C with a 10% markup on his cost. Mr. B's cost is 2,400 baht, so the selling price is 2,400 + (10% of 2,400) = 2,640 baht. Therefore, Mr. C pays 2,640 baht.

Now, comparing Mr. C's price (2,640 baht) to Mr. A's original cost (2,000 baht), we calculate the percentage difference. The increase from 2,000 to 2,640 is 640 baht. To find the percentage relative to Mr. A's cost: (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

Wait a minute, the options don't include 32%. Did I make a mistake?

Let me double-check. Maybe I misunderstood the markups. If Mr. A sells to Mr. B at a 20% markup, that means Mr. B pays 120% of Mr. A's cost. Similarly, Mr. B sells to Mr. C at a 10% markup, meaning Mr. C pays 110% of Mr. B's cost.

Calculating again:

  • Mr. A's cost: 2,000 baht.
  • Mr. B's cost: 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht.
  • Mr. C's cost: 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht.

Difference: 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht.

Percentage increase: (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

Hmm, still not matching the options. Perhaps the question asks for the percentage decrease instead? Wait, no—the question asks how much lower Mr. C's price is compared to Mr. A's. But Mr. C paid more, so it can't be lower. That doesn't make sense. Maybe I misread the question.

Re-reading the question: "จงหาว่านาย C ซื้อสร้อยราคาต่ำกว่านาย A กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์" translates to "Find out what percentage lower Mr. C's purchase price is compared to Mr. A's." But according to calculations, Mr. C paid more. There must be a misunderstanding.

Wait, perhaps the markups are applied differently. Maybe Mr. A sells to Mr. B at a 20% discount instead of markup? That would make sense if Mr. C ends up paying less. Let me try that.

If Mr. A sells to Mr. B at a 20% discount:

  • Mr. B's cost: 2,000 * 0.80 = 1,600 baht.
  • Mr. B sells to Mr. C at a 10% discount: 1,600 * 0.90 = 1,440 baht.

Difference: 2,000 - 1,440 = 560 baht.

Percentage lower: (560 / 2,000) * 100 = 28%.

Option D is 28%, which matches this result. So, it seems there was confusion whether the markup was an increase or a discount. Given the options, it's likely that the transactions involve discounts, not markups, leading to Mr. C paying 28% less than Mr. A.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

  1. Mr. A's cost: Mr. A bought the necklace for 2,000 baht.
  2. Mr. A's profit margin: Mr. A sold the necklace to Mr. B at a 20% profit. So, the selling price for Mr. A is 2,000 * (1 + 0.20) = 2,400 baht.
  3. Mr. B's cost: Mr. B bought the necklace for 2,400 baht.
  4. Mr. B's profit margin: Mr. B sold the necklace to Mr. C at a 10% profit. So, the selling price for Mr. B is 2,400 * (1 + 0.10) = 2,640 baht.
  5. Price difference: Mr. C bought the necklace for 2,640 baht, while Mr. A bought it for 2,000 baht. The difference is 2,640 - 2,000 = 640 baht.
  6. Percentage difference: The percentage difference is (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%. However, the question asks how much lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A. So, we need to calculate the percentage difference based on Mr. A's cost.
  7. Percentage lower: (2,000 / 2,640) * 100 = 75.76%. This means Mr. C bought the necklace for 75.76% of what Mr. A paid.
  8. Percentage difference in cost: Mr. A's cost was 2,000 baht, and Mr. C's cost was 2,640 baht. The difference is 640 baht. The percentage difference is (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

Now, let's re-examine the question. It asks how much lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A. This means we need to find the percentage by which Mr. C's price is lower than Mr. A's price.

Mr. A bought the necklace for 2,000 baht. Mr. C bought it for 2,640 baht. The difference is 640 baht. The percentage difference is (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%.

However, the options provided are 15, 18, 25, 28, and 30. Let's re-calculate the profit margins:

  • Mr. A's cost: 2,000 baht
  • Mr. A's selling price: 2,000 * 1.20 = 2,400 baht
  • Mr. B's cost: 2,400 baht
  • Mr. B's selling price: 2,400 * 1.10 = 2,640 baht
  • Mr. C's cost: 2,640 baht

The question asks how much lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A. So, we need to find the percentage difference between Mr. A's cost and Mr. C's cost.

Percentage difference = ((Mr. C's cost - Mr. A's cost) / Mr. A's cost) * 100 Percentage difference = ((2,640 - 2,000) / 2,000) * 100 Percentage difference = (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%

However, none of the options match 32%. Let's re-examine the problem statement. The question asks how much lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A. This means we need to find the percentage by which Mr. C's price is lower than Mr. A's price.

Mr. A's cost: 2,000 baht Mr. C's cost: 2,640 baht Difference: 640 baht Percentage difference: (640 / 2,000) * 100 = 32%

Let's consider the profit margins again. Mr. A's cost = 2000 Mr. A sells to Mr. B at 20% profit: 2000 * 1.2 = 2400 Mr. B's cost = 2400 Mr. B sells to Mr. C at 10% profit: 2400 * 1.1 = 2640 Mr. C's cost = 2640

The question asks how much lower Mr. C bought the necklace compared to Mr. A. Difference = 2640 - 2000 = 640 Percentage lower = (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%

The closest answer is 30%. Let's check the calculations again. Mr. A buys for 2000. Mr. A sells for 2400. Mr. B buys for 2400. Mr. B sells for 2640. Mr. C buys for 2640. Difference = 2640 - 2000 = 640 Percentage difference = (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32%

The question is asking for the percentage by which Mr. C's price is higher than Mr. A's price. Percentage higher = (640 / 2000) * 100 = 32% The closest answer is 30%.
