Answer 2

Given:-

A pen was purchased for Rs. 100 (Cost Price = 100)

and sold for Rs. 115 (Selling Price = 115)

To Find:

Profit percent

Solution:

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

        = 115 - 100

        = 15

Profit Percent = (Profit/ Cost Price) x 100  

                      = (15/ 100) x 100

                      = 15%

Hence, profit percent in the given pen is 15%

Additional Information:

If Cost Price > Selling Price, then loss has occurred.

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss Percent = (Loss/ Cost Price) x 100
