Question

" A kettle is sold at a profit equal to one-fourth of its cost price. Find the profit percentage."

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 100%

we cut 100 and 4

we put 1 in place of 4 and 25 in place of 100

1/1 X 25%

25%

Answer 2

$\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\bf Given -  \begin{cases} &\sf{Profit \: = \: \dfrac{1}{4} \: Cost \: Price} \end{cases}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\bf  To \:  Find :-  \begin{cases} &\sf{Profit \: \%}  \end{cases}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}$

$\large\underline\purple{\bold{Solution :- }}$

Let Cost Price of Kettle be Rs '4x'.

It is given that Profit is one - fourth of its Cost Price

• So, Profit = Rs x.

We know,

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \: Profit \: \% \: = \:\dfrac{Profit}{Cost \: Price} \times \: 100 \: \%}}$

So,

$\rm : \implies \:Profit \: \% \: = \: \dfrac{x}{4x} \times 100 \: \%$

$\boxed{ \pink{ \rm : \implies \: Profit\%\: = \: 25\%}}$

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \:\rm { Gain \: \% = \Bigg( \dfrac{Gain}{C.P} \times 100 \Bigg)\%} \: }}$

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \: \rm { S.P = \dfrac{100+Gain\%}{100} \times C.P}\: }}$

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \: \rm { C.P =\dfrac{100}{100+Gain\%} \times S.P}\: }}$

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \:\rm { S.P = \dfrac{100-loss\%}{100} \times C.P} \: }}$

$\boxed{ \green{ \rm : \implies \:\rm { C.P =\dfrac{100}{100-loss\%} \times S.P}</p><p> \: }}$
