Question

a shopkeeper makes a loss of 6% by selling a pair of jeans for rupees 564. what will be his profit or loss percent if he sells it for rupees 675??​

Answer 1

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given = ( Loss = 6%

SP = ₹ 564 )

CP = SP × 100 / ( 100 - Loss%)

CP = 564 × 100 / ( 100 - 6 )

CP = 564 × 100 / 96

CP = ₹ 587.5

When CP = ₹ 587.5 , SP = ₹ 675

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 675 - 587.5

Profit = ₹ 87.5

Profit% = P × 100 / CP

Profit% = 87.5 × 100 / 587.5

Profit% = 15%
