profit percentage?
(B) 49 %
13
(C) 35%
(D) 65%
(A) 53 11%​

Answer 1

Answer:

65 percent is his profit percentage

Answer 2

The correct option would be A. $53\dfrac{11}{13}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost price of each radio,

The cost price of 100 radios = 100x,

While, the cost price of the 65 radios = 65x,

Since, 65 radios are sold in the price of 100 radios,

That is,

Total cost price = 65x,

Selling price = 100x,

$\text{Profit}\%=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$

$=\frac{100x-65x}{65x}\times 100$

$=\frac{35x}{65x}\times 100$

$=\frac{7}{13}\times 100$

$=\frac{700}{13}$

$=53\frac{11}{13}\%$
