The Profit %on Machine

$\sf\bold\orange{\rightarrow According\: to\: question}$

$\rm\purple{\boxed{P=Sp-Cp}}$

$\rm{\implies P=1600-1500}$

$\rm\green{\implies P=Rs.100}$

• Now, calculate profit%

$\rm{\implies P\%=\dfrac{P*100}{Cp}}$

$\rm{\implies P\%=\dfrac{100*100}{1500}}$

$\rm{\implies P\%=\dfrac{100}{15}}$

$\rm{\implies P\%=6.66\%}$

Therefore, profit on sewing machine of 6.66%
