Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Gain% = Gain / CP * 100

Gain = SP - CP

SP = 7200

CP = 6400

Gain = 7200 - 6400 = 800

Since Gain% = Gain / CP * 100

Gain% = 800 / 6400 * 100

= 800/64

= 12.5

Therefore, the gain per cent was 12.5%

Hope this answer helped you :>

Given data :

Cost price of sofa = 6400 unit

➜ Selling price of sofa = 7200 unit

Solution : Here, a/c to given data we know that, selling price is greater than cost price. Hence it's profit.

Now,by formula of profit;

➜ Profit = Selling price - Cost price

➜ Profit = 7200 - 6400

➜ Profit = 800 unit

Now, by formula of profit percentage;

➜ Profit % = {Profit/Cost price} * 100

➜ Profit % = {800/6400} * 100

➜ Profit % = {8/64} * 100

➜ Profit % = {1/8} * 100

➜ Profit % = 100/8

➜ Profit % = 50/4

➜ Profit % = 25/2

➜ Profit % = 12.5 unit

Answer : Hence, the Mohan's profit percentage is 12.5 unit.

{ Formulae :

➜ Profit = Selling price - Cost price

➜ Loss = Cost price - Selling price

Profit percentage [gain %]

➜ Profit % = {Profit/Cost price} * 100

Loss percentage [loss %]

➜ Loss % = {Loss/Cost price} * 100 }
