Question

electrician bought five broken washing machines for 5,000. He repaired them and sold
m for 1,450 each. What was his percentage profit?
e cost price of 16 books is equal to the selling price of 12 books. Find the percentage gain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of 5 broken washing machine= ₹5000

SP of 1 machine= ₹ 1,450

SP of 5 machines= 1450×5

                            = ₹7250

Profit= 7250-5000

        =₹ 2250

Profit%= Profit/CP×100

           = 2250/5000×100

           = 2250/50

           = 45%

Let the CP of one book be ₹. x. So,

CP of 16 books =₹. 16x

According to the question,

SP of 12 books =₹ 16x

Therefore,  SP of one book =₹ 16x/12= ₹ 4x/3

∴ gain%= (4x/3-x)/x*100= x/3x*100=33 1/3%

Answer 2

Answer:

Profit Percentage = 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = Rs 5000

S.P. = Rs 1450 × 5 = Rs 7250

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= 7250 - 5000

= 2250

Profit % = Profit/C.P × 100%

= 2250/5000 × 100

= 45% Profit
