The dealer should charge $ 210 for the chair if he wants the percentage profit to be the same on both the items.

Given that a dealer buys a chair and a table at $ 200 and $ 500 respectively, and for selling, he marks the table at $ 525, to determine what price he should ask for the chair if he wants the percentage profit to be the same on both the items, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 500 = 100
  • 525 = X
  • 525 x 100/500 = X
  • 105 = X  
  • 100 = 200
  • 105 = X
  • 105 x 200/100 = X
  • 210 = X

Therefore, the dealer should charge $ 210 for the chair if he wants the percentage profit to be the same on both the items.
