Question

If S.P. of an item is 5 times its C.P., find the profit or loss percent .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let CP be ₹100

SP = ₹5×100 =₹500

Since,

SP > CP

Therefore, Gain.

Gain = SP - CP

Gain = 500 - 100

Gain = 400

Gain % = (Gain / CP) * 100.

Gain% = (400/100)* 100.

Gain% = 4* 100

Gain% = 400%

Answer 2

Let C.P. be ₹100.

S.P. is 5 times of C.P.
S.P. = 100 * 5 =₹500

Profit = S.P. - C.P.
= ₹400

Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100
= (400/100) * 100
= 400%

Therefore, Profit percent is 400%.
