or loss per cent if he sells it for 1675?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: He gains a profit of 12.5% on selling a pair of jeans pants on 564.

Answer 2

He gains a profit of 12.5% on selling a pair of jeans pants on 564....

⇒x= 47

564×50 =600

Thus the cost price of jeans is Rs.600.

Let x be the cost price of jeans.

Selling price of jeans =Rs.564

Therefore,

x− 1006

×x=564

x(1−503 )=564⇒x= 47

564×50=600

Thus the cost price of jeans is Rs.600.

Now, if the shopkeeper sell it for Rs.675,

Profit =675−600=Rs.75

Profit percent = 60075

×100=12.5%
