The Profit % made is 6.25%

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}}$

Given :

Buys the motorcycle at = Rs. 40000

Sells the motorcycle at = Rs. 42500

To Find :

The profit/loss %

Solution :

Here ;

• Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 40000
• Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 42500

42500 > 40000

Selling Price > Cost Price

$\therefore$ It is a Profit

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Profit % =

★ ${\boxed{\sf\:{Profit\% = \frac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100}}}$

$\sf{\implies} \: Profit\% = \left(\dfrac{42500 - 40000}{40000}\right)\times 100$

$\sf{\implies} \: Profit\% = \dfrac{2500}{40000} \times 100$

$\sf{\implies} \: Profit\% = \dfrac{250000}{40000}$

$\sf{\implies} \: Profit\% = 6.25\%$

$\therefore$ The Profit % made is 6.25%
