Question

a retailer buy a redio for rs.215 .He spent rs.25 on his repairing .If he sells the radio for rs.300 . Find the profit percentage​

Answer 1

1.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

300 divide by 240 is equal to 1.25

Answer 2

Price of the radio a retailer buys = Rs. 215

Money the retailer had to spend for repairing the radio = Rs. 25

Total money he had invested on his radio :-

= 215 + 25

= Rs. 240

So , the retailer has invested a total of 240 rupees on his radio .

The price in which he sold his radio = Rs.300

$\color{olive}profit =\color{hotpink} selling \: price \: - cost \: price$

Profit the retailer got :-

$= 300 - 240$

$\color{hotpink} = Rs.60$

Which means the retailer had a profit of Rs.60 .

$\color{olive}profit \: percentage = \color{hotpink}\frac{profit \times 100}{CP}$

The percentage of profit the retailer got :-

$= \frac{60 \times 100}{240}$

$= \frac{6000}{240 }$

$\color{hotpink}= 25$

Which means the profit percentage was 25% .

Therefore , the percentage of profit the retailer had = 25% .
