Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathrm{SOLUTION:-}$

$\pink{\bf{Given}\begin{cases}\sf{ \red{If\:selling\:price\:is\:doubled,}\: }\\\sf{ \green{the\:profit\:triples.}\: }\end{cases}}$

$\pink{\bf{To\:Find}\begin{cases}\sf{ \red{The\:profit\:percent = \:?} \: }\end{cases}}$

$\huge\underline\mathrm{ExPlanation:-}$

Let the C.P be Rs.100

And S.P be Rs.x

Then:

• The profit is (x-100)

Now he S.P is doubled,

• Then the new S.P is 2x

New profit is (2x-100)

Now as per the given condition;

➠ 3(x-100) = 2x - 100

By solving, we get

• x = 200

Then:

The Profit percent = (200-100)/100

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 100

Hence:

• $\dag$The profit percentage is 100%.
