Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of profit is 33.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : By selling 44 articles, shop keeper gains the selling price of 11 articles.

To find : What is percentage of profit?

Solution :

We know that,

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

SP(44 article) = CP(44 article) + P

We have given that profit of selling price of 11 article.

i.e P=SP(11 article)

Substituting in equation above,

SP(44 article) = CP(44 article) + SP(11 article)

CP(44 article)=SP(33 article)

Profit percentage is

$P=\frac{\text{SP(11 article)}}{\text{CP(44 article)}}\times 100$

$P=\frac{\text{SP(11 article)}}{\text{SP(33 article)}}\times 100$

$P=\frac{11}{33}\times 100$

 $P=33.33\%$

Therefore, The percentage of profit is 33.33%.
