chocolates. Find the profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first of all thanks for asking this question!! and here is your answer mate ♥️

Step-by-step explanation:

Cp Of 1 chocolates = Rs.1

Then Cp Of 12 chocolates = 12

And Sp Of 12 chocolates = 15

Gain = Sp-Cp= 15-12 = 3

Gain% = (Gain/Cp)*100 %

= (3/12)*100

= 25%

12 S P = 15 C P

S P = 5/4 C P

= 125% C P

Profit % = 25 %

12*(SP) = 15*(CP)

12*(CP+P) = 15*(CP)

12P = 3*CP

P = CP/4

Gain% = P*100/CP

= CP*100 / (CP*4)

= 25%

or other steps are:-

s.p of chocolates = 14x

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13x

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p= 14x - 13x

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p= 14x - 13x=X

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p= 14x - 13x=Xprofit % = profit / c.p × 100

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p= 14x - 13x=Xprofit % = profit / c.p × 100X / 13x × 100

s.p of chocolates = 14xc.p of chocolates = 13xso,profit = s.p - c.p= 14x - 13x=Xprofit % = profit / c.p × 100X / 13x × 100100x / 13x = 7.69
