Question

find out the % Profit or loss. 1) CP=400,SP=950 2)CP=1200,SP=100 3)CP=900,SP=1200 4)CP=1000,SP=950 5)CP=1200,SP=1300​

Answer 1

Given :

• 1) CP = 400,SP = 950

• 2)CP = 1200,SP = 100

• 3)CP = 900,SP = 1200

• 4)CP = 1000,SP = 950

• 5)CP = 1200, SP = 1300

To find :

• The % Profit or loss.

Solution :

1) CP = 400,SP = 950

profit = SP - CP

profit = 950 - 400

profit = 550

Profit % = profit x 100/CP

==> 550 x 100/400

==> 550 x ¼

==> 137.5

2) CP = 1200, SP = 100

loss = CP - SP

loss = 1200 - 100

loss = 1100

loss % = loss x 100/CP

==> 1100 x 100/1200

==> 1100 x 1/12

==> 91.7

3) CP = 900, SP = 1200

profit = SP - CP

profit = 1200 - 900

profit = 300

Profit % = profit x 100/CP

==> 300 x 100/900

==> 300 x 1/9

==> 33.33

4) CP = 1000, SP = 950

loss = CP - SP

loss = 1000 - 950

loss = 50

loss % = loss x 100/CP

==> 50 x 100/1000

==> 5000/1000

==> 5

5) CP = 1200, SP = 1300

profit = SP - CP

profit = 1300 - 1200

profit = 100

Profit % = profit x 100/CP

==> 100 x 100/1200

==> 100 x 1/12

==> 8.33
