Question

A shopkeeper bought an almirah from a wholesale dealer for ₹4500 and sold it for ₹6000.Find his profit or loss percent​

Answer 1

The cost price of the almirah (CP)=₹4500
The seeling price of the almirah (SP)=₹6000

As SP>CP, we know that it is a profit

Profit %=(SP-CP/CP)*100
=(6000-4500/4500)*100
=(1500/4500)*100
=(1/3)*100
=33 1/3 %

Answer 2

Answer:

The shopkeeper made the profit of 33.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Shopkeeper boigh the almirah at = Rs. 4500

Sold at = Rs. 6000

To find :

The Loss or Profit %

Solution :

Here :

• Cost Price = Rs. 4500
• Selling price = Rs. 6000

6000 > 4500

Selling Price > Cost Price

$\therefore$ It is Profit !

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Profit =}}}$

$\bigstar\:{\boxed{\sf{Selling\: Price-Cost\: Price}}}$

⇒ 6000 - 4500

⇒ 1500

Profit = Rs. 1500

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

$\textsf{\underline{\underline{Profit\% =}}}$

$\bigstar\:{\boxed{\sf\:{Profit\% = \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100}}}$

$\sf\:{Profit\% = \dfrac{1500}{4500} \times 100}$

$\sf\:{Profit\% = \dfrac{15}{45} \times 100}$

$\sf\:{Profit\% = \dfrac{1500}{45}}$

$\sf\:{Profit\% = 33.33\%}$

$\therefore$ The shopkeeper made the profit of 33.33 %
