Question

A man purchased 6 items and sold 3 items for the amount purchased of 6 items.find the profit gained by that man by selling those 3 items.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

So cost of one item is 5/6

5 items sold for Rs. 6/-

So sale price of one item is 6/5

Profit = 6/5 (-) 5/6

= (36 - 25)/30

11/30

Profit as percentage of cost price = 11/30 / 5/6

= 11/30 x 6/5

11/25 or 44%

This is the right answer for your question.

Answer 2

*Cost of one item =5/6

Cost of one item =5/65 item are sold for Rs. 6/-

Cost of one item =5/65 item are sold for Rs. 6/-Sale price (SP) of one item =6/5

Cost of one item =5/65 item are sold for Rs. 6/-Sale price (SP) of one item =6/5Profit =6/5-5/6

Cost of one item =5/65 item are sold for Rs. 6/-Sale price (SP) of one item =6/5Profit =6/5-5/6=(36-25)/30

Cost of one item =5/65 item are sold for Rs. 6/-Sale price (SP) of one item =6/5Profit =6/5-5/6=(36-25)/30=11/30

Profit as percentage Of Cost Price (CP)=11/30 or 5/6

=11/30×6/5

=11/25 or 44%
