​

Answer 1

Answer:

2500÷ 50000 × 100 is profit percentage

so it is c) 5 %

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

$\textsf{Cost price of the Television = Rs. 50000}$

$\textsf{Selling price of the Television = Rs. 52500}$

To find :

$\textsf{The profit percentage}$

Taken :

To find profit percentage use this formula-:

$\sf\boxed{P\%=\dfrac{P}{C.P}\times100}$

Where,

P% = Profit percent

P = Profit

C.P = Cost price

And to find the profit subtract the C.P by S.P .

So , profit -:

$:\implies\sf{P=S.P-C.P}$

$:\implies\sf{P=52500-50000}$

$:\implies\sf{P=2500}$

So , the profit is Rs. 2500 .

Solution :

$:\implies\sf{P\%=\dfrac{2500}{500\cancel{00}}\times1\cancel{00}}$

$:\implies\sf{P\%=\dfrac{25\cancel{00}}{5\cancel{00}}}$

$:\implies\sf{P\%=\dfrac{\cancel{25}}{\cancel{5}}}$

$:\implies\sf{P\%=5\%}$

So , the profit percent is 5% .

Answer :

Profit percent = 5%

And the option (c) is the correct option ....
