Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit of 33 meters cloth :33(sp-cp)=11(sp):selling price of 11 meters cloth

=>3(sp-cp)=sp

=>sp=1.5*cp

profit %=((sp-cp)/cp)*100

profit =.5*100=50%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the SP of 1 metre cloth = Rs. 1

The SP of 33 metres cloth = 1××33

= Rs. 33

CP of 1 metre cloth = Rs. x

CP of 33 metres cloth = x××33

= Rs. 33x

According to question,

Profit = SP - CP

11 = 33 - 33x

33x = 22

x=2233=23x=2233=23

CP of 1 metre cloth = Rs.2323

CP of 33 metre cloth = 23×3323×33

= Rs. 22

SP of 33 metres cloth = Rs. 33

Profit = SP - CP

= 33 - 22 = 11

Profit% =1122×100=50%=1122×100=50%
