Question

A shirt was sold at a profit of Rs.50. If a trouser was sold at half the profit percentage and the cost price of the trouser is thrice that of shirt, find the profit made on the trouser (in.Rs.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the cost price of shirt

lets assume x=100

cost price of trouser = 3 *100 (given)

let y be the profit made by trouser

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Profit % of shirt = (50 * 100)/ 100= 50 %

Its given trouser is sold at half the profit percentage

so 25% = (profit of trouser *100)/ cost price of trouser

             =  (y*100)/300

          y = 75

The profit made by trouser = Rs.75

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit made of a trouser = Rs. 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit made by selling the shirt = Rs.50

Profit made by selling the trouser is half the profit percentage of the shirt.

The cost price of a trouser = thrice the cost price of a shirt

To find,

The profit made on the trouser

Solution:

Let the CP of the shirt be Rs.'100'

Since the profit made by selling a shirt is Rs.50, the Profit percentage of the shirt = 50%

Since the cost price of the trouser is thrice that of a shirt,

The cost price of the trousers = Rs. 300

Since the profit percentage is half of that of the shirt,

Profit percentage of a trouser = 25%

Profit made of a trouser = 300 ×25% = Rs. 75
