Answer 2

Solution!!

The concept of profit and loss has to be used here.

Profit% = 20

CP of 75 articles = Rs 2250

Profit% = (Profit/CP) × 100

20 = (Profit/2250) × 100

20 = (Profit/225) × 10

20 ÷ 10 = Profit/225

2 = Profit/225

Profit = Rs 450

Profit = SP - CP

Rs 450 = SP - Rs 2250

SP = Rs 2250 + Rs 450

SP of 75 articles = Rs 2700

SP of 1 article = Rs 2700 ÷ 75

SP of 1 article = Rs 36

More information:-

If SP>CP, then it is profit.

If CP>SP, then it is loss.

Profit = SP - CP

Loss = CP - SP

Profit% = (Profit/CP) × 100

Loss% = (Loss/CP) × 100

CP → Cost Price

SP → Selling Price
