Answer 1

Answer:

The profit percentage is 16.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : After offering a discount of 37.5, Pankaj sold the rice at a profit of 25. Had he offered a discount of 41.67.

To find : His profit or loss percent would have been ?

Solution :

Let the marked price of the rice = 8p

Discount = 37.5%=$\frac{3}{8}\times MP$

Selling price = $8p-\frac{3}{8}\times 8p=5p$

The selling price formula is,

$5p=CP+\frac{25}{100}\times CP$

$5p=CP+0.25CP$

$5p=1.25CP$

$CP=\frac{5p}{1.25}$

$CP=4p$

If he had offered a discount of 41.67% = $\frac{5}{12}$

$SP=8p-\frac{5}{12}\times 8p=\frac{14p}{3}$

Profit = SP-CP

$P=\frac{14p}{3}-4p$

$P=\frac{2p}{3}$

Profit percentage is given by,

$P\%=\frac{P}{CP}\times 100$

$P\%=\frac{\frac{2p}{3}}{4p}\times 100$

$P\%=\frac{100}{6}\%$

$P\%=16.66\%$

The profit percentage is 16.66%.
