Question

a retailer bought a mixie from a whole sale dealer for ₹ 4500 and sold it for ₹ 6000. find his profit or loss percent?

Answer 1

since sp> cp, it is a profit
profit = sp- cp= 6000-4500= 1500
profit %= profit*100/ cp
= 1500*100/ 4500
=100/3= 33.3%

Answer 2

Cp=rs.4500

Sp= rs.6000

Profit =sp-cp

6000-4500=1500

Profit%=profit/cp×100

1500/4500×100

33.3%profit
