  Ram sold an article to Shyam at a certain profit percentage. And Shyam sold it to Mohan at same profit percentage. If Mohan sold it to Rakesh at the original price and get 36% loss. Then find at what profit percentage Ram sold the article.
  
  Let the original cost price (CP) be $x$.
  
  Selling price (SP) for Shyam (Shyam buying) $= x (\frac{p}{100} + 1)$ where $p$ is the profit percentage.
  
  Selling price for Mohan $= x (\frac{p}{100} + 1) ( \frac{p}{100} + 1)$
  
  Selling price for Rakesh $= x = (1 -0.36) \times x (\frac{p}{100} + 1) ( \frac{p}{100} + 1)$
  
  $\implies (p+100)^2 = \frac{10000}{0.64}$
  
  $\implies p+100 = \frac{100}{0.8} =125$
  
  $\implies p = 25\%$
