Answer 2

Profit = 0.8°/•

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: SP of sofa set = Rs.2500

Loss = 20°/•

To Find: The loss °/• or the profit°/• if he sells the same sofa for Rs.3150

Answer: loss = 20°/• of CP

= 20/100 x CP

= 20CP/100

Loss = CP - SP

20CP/100 = CP - 2500

2500= CP - 20CP/100

2500 = ( 100CP - 20CP )/ 100

2500 = 80CP/100

(2500 × 100)÷80 = CP

250000 ÷ 80 = CP

3125 = CP

:. SP>CP = Profit

Profit = SP - CP

= 3150 - 3125

= 25

Profit °/• = (25 × 100) / 3125

= 2500 / 3125

= 0.8

:. The profit percent if he sells the sofa set for Rs. 3150 will be 0.8°/•
