Question

on selling an article at a certain price a trader makes a profit of 50%.What is the new profit/ loss percent , if the cost price increases by 25%and selling price decreases by 20%.

Answer 1

Let initial C.P be 100 R
So, S.P = 150 R

Now
Final C.P = 125 R
SP = 80% of 150 = 120 R
Therefore, loss = 5/125 *100 = 4 %
