A manufacturer sells an article to a wholesale dealer at a profit of 10%. The wholesale dealer sells it to a shopkeeper at 20% profit. The shopkeeper sells it to a customer for $5610 at a loss of 15%. Then what is the cost price of the article to the manufacturer?

Let the Cost price of the article to the manufacturer = x
Therefore, the Cost price of the article to the wholesale dealer = 1.1x
Therefore, the Cost price of the article to the shopkeeper = 1.32x
Therefore, the Cost price of the article to the customer =1.122x = 5610 => x = 5610/1.122 = 5000

Hence C
