Answer 2

Answer:

Transaction on Shirt is more profitable

Step-by-step explanation:

Maganlal bought trousers for ₹ 400 and a shirt for ₹ 200 and sold them for ₹ 448 and ₹ 250 respectively.

Trouser cost Price = Rs 400

Trouser Selling Price = Rs 448

Profit on Trouser = 448 - 400 = Rs 48

Profit % on Trouser = (48/400) * 100 = 12 %

Shirt cost Price = Rs 200

Shirt Selling Price = Rs 250

Profit on Shirt = 250 - 200 = Rs 50

Profit % on Shirt = (50/200) * 100 = 25 %

25 > 12

Transaction on Shirt is more profitable
