Question

a profit of 25% is made by selling an articale for 30.if the article was sold for 33.60the profit would have been?

Answer 1

Let the Cost Price of the article be x
Now Cost price + profit = selling price
then x + (25/100) x = 30
5x/4=30
x= 24

so the cost of article is 24

now the new selling price is 33.60, profit is 33.60-24=9.60
in percentage (9.60/24) *100= 960/24= 40%
So that's your answer, hope it helped.
