Question

If the cost price of 5 articles is rupees 4 and the selling price of 4 articles is rupees 5 find the percentage of profit​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost prize of 5 articles is rupees 4 and selling prize of 4 artiles is rupees 5, we need to first find the profit of 1 article so that we can find the profit of number of articles like 2, 3, 4 , you name it. To find the profit, simply add the cost prize and selling prize but first find the cost for 1 article so,:

5 articles= 4

1 article=?

            =5/4

            =0.8

now let's find the selling prize

4 articles=4

so simply,

1 article = 1 rupees

total profit= selling prize + cost price

                =0.8+1

                =0.9 rupees

Thus, the total profit is 0.9 rupees!
