Question

A cloth marchand on salling 33 metres of cloth obtains a Profit equal to the selling price of 11 meters of the same cloth find his profit percentage.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, (SP of 33m)-(CP of 33m) = Gain = SP of 11m.

This means, CP of 33m = (SP of 33m)-(SP of 11m) = SP of 22m.

Let the CP of each meter be Re 1. Then,

CP of 33m = Rs 33.

SP of 11m = (SP of 22m)/2 = (CP of 33m)/2 = Rs 33/2.

Percentage of Gain = Gain/CP × 100%

= (SP of 11m)/(CP) × 100%

= (33/2)/(33) × 100%

= 50%.
