Question

(b) 8.55 %
(c) 11.75 %
(d) 12.5 %​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d)12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit=1800-1600=200

profit percent formula

profit×100/C.P

200×100/1600

=12.5%

Answer 2

Given: The C.P. is Rs.$1600$ and S.P. is Rs.$1800$

We have to find the profit percent.

As we know that the formula is used to calculate the profit percent is: $Profit\% =\frac{\text { Profit }}{\text { CostPrice }} \times 100$

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The C.P. is Rs.$1600$ and S.P. is Rs.$1800$

We know that,

$\begin{array}{l}\text { Profit = SP-CP } \\\Rightarrow 1800-1600 \\\Rightarrow 200\end{array}$

Hence, Profit $=200 \mathrm{Rs}.$

Now,

$\begin{array}{l}\text { Profit\% }=\frac{\text { Profit }}{\text { CostPrice }} \times 100 \\\\\text { Profit } \%=\frac{200}{1600} \times 100 \\\\\text { Profit } \%=12.5\%\end{array}$

Hence, we get the profit$\%=12.5\%$.
