Question

if the cost price of 18 toys is equal to selling price of 15 toys. find the profit and loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp of 1 toy = x

then cp of 18 toy = 18x

according to the question,

sp of 15 toy = cp of 18 toys = 18x

profit = sp - cp of 15 toys

= 18x - 15x

= 3x

profit percent = profit/cp of 15 toys x 100

= ( 3x/15x ) X 100

=1/5 x 100

= 20

Answer 2

Answer:

20% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of 18 toys = SP of 15 toys

SP of 1 toy = x

CP of 18 toys = 15x ( as CP of 18 toys = SP of 15 toys)

SP of 18 toys = 18x

as SP>CP = PROFIT

PROFIT = SP-CP

             =  18x - 15x = 3x

PROFIT % = PROFIT/CP * 100

                = 3x / 15x * 100

                 = 1 / 5 * 100

                 =  20

answer : 20% profit
