Answer 2

Answer:

Overall profit % = 203 %

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

Selling price of article A = article B = x  is given.

Let the selling price of article A = article B = x

Formula used:

$Profit \% \ = \frac{S.P-C.P}{C.P} \times 100$

For article A:

$100 = \frac{x-C.P}{C.P} \times 100$

C.P =0.5 x

For article B:

$20 = \frac{x-C.P'}{C.P'} \times 100$

C.P' =0.167 x

Total C.P = 0.5x + 0.167x = 0.66x

Total S.P = x + x = 2x

$Total \ Profit \% \ = \frac{Total \ S.P-Total \ C.P}{Total \ C.P} \times 100$

$Total \ Profit \% \ = \frac{2x-0.66x}{0.66x} \times 100$

Hence,Overall profit % = 203 %
