Question

A man sold two articles each for Rs. 46789. If he get a profit of 20% on one article find the profit percent of second article so that he makes an overall profit of 50%​

Answer 1

Total sale value = 2 x 525600 = 10,51,200

Cost of first article which was sold at 20% profit = 100/120 *525600 = 4,38,000

Total sale value is at 50% profit, so total cost = 100/150 *1051,200=7,00,800

So cost of second article = 700, 800 - 438,000 = 262800

So profit on second article= 525,600 - 262,800 = 262,800

So profit% = 100% ANSWER
