Question

man sells an article at RS.600 and makes a profit of 1/5 of sp. calculate his profit percent
plz solve in understanding way

Answer 1

Answer:

Easiest trick to do it is-

25% profit is on S.P. so the fraction is = 1/4 Where

1= profit

4=SP

so CP should be 4–1 = 3

Now if we calculate the real profile, it would be calculated on CP.

I.e. 1/3*100

which is 33.33% or 33 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

so 1/5 of 600 = 120

so 120/ ori. cost price

600-120=480

so 120/480×100= the profit%

=4.5%
