Question

a man bought an article for rupees 25 and sold it for rupees 40 another man bought an article for Rs 50 and sold it for rupees 65 what rate of profit is Greater and by what percent​

Answer 1

Solutions :-

For First man,
Given :
Cost Price of an article = Rs 25
Selling price = Rs 40

Selling price is greater than the Cost price. Therefore, Profit.

Profit = S.P - C.P
= Rs (40 - 25)
= Rs 15

Profit % = (profit × 100)/C.P %
= (15 × 100)/25
= 1500/25
= 60 %


For another man,
Given :
Cost Price of an article = Rs 50
Selling price = Rs 65

Here, Also Selling price is greater than the Cost price. Therefore, Profit.

Profit = S.P - C.P
= Rs (65 - 50)
= Rs 15

Profit % = (profit × 100)/C.P %
= (15 × 100)/50
= 1500/50
= 30 %


Hence,
First man's rate of profit is Greater than the another man by 30%.
