Question

by selling a jeans for Rs564 a shopkeeper faces a loss of 6% what will be his profit/loss percent if he sells it for rs675

Answer 1

sp=rs 564
loss=6%
cp={100/(100-loss)} x sp
={100/(100-6)} × 564
={100/94}×564
=600

again,cp=rs600,sp=rs675
so,profit=675-600=rs75
profit %={profit/cp}×100
=(75/600)×100
=75/6
=12.5% @
hope it helps you....

Answer 2

sp=564
loss=6%
cp=100/100-loss%*sp
100/94*564=600
cp=600
sp=564
now if he sold it fir rs 675
cp=600
sp=675
profit =675-600=75
p%=75/600*100=12.5%
