Answer 1

Hlw mate !!


Let SP of 1 metre cloth = Rs. 1

SP of 33 metres cloth = Rs. x

CP of 33 metre cloth = Rs. 33x

According to question,

Profit = SP - CP

11x = 33 - 33x

44x = 33

x=3344=34

CP of 1 metre = Rs.34

CP of 33 meters = 34×33

= Rs. 994

SP of 33 metres = Rs. 33

Profit = SP - CP = 33 - 994=334

∴Profit% =334994×100=3399×100

=13×100=3313%
