solution,
C.P = rs.900
S.P = rs. 972
s.p is greater than c.p
profit = s.p - c.p
= 972-900
= 72
profit percent = profit / c.p * 100 %
= 72 /900 * 100 %

Answer 2

Hello!

Question:

A man buys a radio set for Rs.900 and sells it for Rs.972. What is his profit or loss percent?

Solution:

C.P = Rs.900
S.P = Rs.972

Now,

Profit = S.P - C.P

= Rs.972 - Rs.900

= Rs.72

Again,

Profit Percent = Profit/C.P × 100%

= 72/900 × 100%

= 8%

Hence, His profit percent is 8%.
