Answer 1

AnswEr :

⋆ Cost Price ( CP ) = Rs. 3600

⋆ Selling Price ( SP ) = Rs. 4800

As, SP is more that's why there will be sure Profit to Anjali in this transaction.

⇒ Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = Rs. 4800 - Rs. 3600

⇒ Profit = Rs. 1200

_________________________________

⇒ Profit% = Profit / CP × 100

• Plugging the Values

⇒ Profit% = 1200 / 3600 × 100

Answer 2

Answer:

profit percentage on the showpiece is

$\frac{100}{3} \% \: or \: 33 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

cp of showpiece = rs 3600

sp of showpiece = rs 4800

Here,

sp of showpiece is greater than cp.

Then,

Profit was taken by anjali for selling her showpiece.

p = (sp - cp)

p = rs (4800 - 3600)

p = rs 1200

$p\% \: = ( \frac{p}{cp} \: \times \: 100)\% \\ p\% \: \: = \: ( \frac{1200}{3600} \: \times \: 100)\% \\ p\% \: = \: ( \frac{1}{3} \: \times \: 100)\% \\ p\% \: = \: \frac{100}{3} \% \: \: \: or \: 33 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Here

cp is the cost price of showpiece.

sp is selling price of showpiece.

p is the profit taken by anjali for selling her showpiece.

p % is the profit percentage taken by anjali for selling her showpiece.

Hence ,

Profit taken by anjali is (100/3) percent.
