Question

a man purchased an article of cost rs.3600 and sold it at the rate of rs. 5000. what is profit and profit percentage​

Answer 1

Given:

• Man purchase an article for(C.P) ₹3600
• Man sold that article at(S.P) ₹5000

To Find:

• Profit on article?
• Profit percentage of article?

Solution:

Here, given that CP of article is ₹3600 and SP of article is ₹5000.

• We can see that CP < SP.

We know that if CP of any article is less then there will be profit which can be calculated as :

Profit = SP - CP

→ Profit = 5000 - 3600

→ Profit = 1400

Therefore,

• $\large\boxed{\mathfrak{Profit~on~article~is~₹1400}}$

________________

Now, after above discussion,

We have:

• SP = ₹5000
• CP = ₹3600
• Profit = ₹1400

Now, to find profit percentage,

We know that :

• $\large{\boxed{\green{\sf{Profit\%=\:\dfrac{Profit×100}{CP}}}}}$

Put value in formula:

$\large{\sf{Proft\%=\:\dfrac{Proft×100}{CP}}}$

$\implies\large{\sf{Profit\%=\:\dfrac{1400×100}{3600}}}$

$\implies\large{\sf{Profit\%=\:\dfrac{1400}{36}}}$

$\implies\large{\sf{Proft\%=\:38.889}}$

Therefore,

• $\large{\boxed{\mathfrak{Profit\%=\:38.889\%}}}$
