Question

5. In profit, SP is always greater than CP.
it is true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes it is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

If a person gets his stock for ₹12(CP) and sold it for ₹20(SP) . So by subtracting CP from SP (SP-CP) i.e.

Profit= SP- CP

        = ₹20 - ₹12

        = ₹8

So the person gets a profit of ₹8.

Answer 2

Given: SP is always greater than CP.

To find: We have to find if the statement is true or not.

Solution:

• If the selling price of anything is greater than the cost price of that thing we get profit.

For example,

Let the selling price of a pen be 10 rupees.

The cost price of the pen is 6 rupees.

Then by selling the pen the shopkeeper will get a profit of (10-6)=4 rupees.

Thus SP is always greater than CP.

So, the above statement is true.
