Question

on selling an article for rs. 78 , there is a profit of 56% if it is sold for rs. 72 , the profit present will be.​

Answer 1

Answer :

44%

Explanation :

S. P. (Selling price) of the article is ₹78 which gives a profit of 56%. If the article is sold for ₹72 find the profit now.

Let's calculate the C. P. (cost price) of the article.

We know that,

$\sf \to C. P. = \dfrac{100}{100 + profit\%} \times S. P.$

Where,

• Profit = 56%.
• S. P. = ₹78

So,

$\sf \to C. P. = \dfrac{100}{100 + 56} \times 78$

$\sf \to C. P. = \dfrac{100}{156} \times 78$

$\sf \to C. P. = 50$

$\sf \therefore C. P. \: of \: the \: article \: is\: Rs. 50$

But,

It is to be sold in ₹72.

Since,

S. P. > C. P.

Therefore, it's a profit.

Profit = S. P. - C. P.

Where, S. P. is 72 ; C. P. is 50

So,

= 72 - 50

= 22

$\sf \therefore Profit\% = \dfrac{profit \times 100}{C.P.}$

$\sf \to \dfrac{22 \times 100}{50}$

$\sf \to \green{44\%}$
