- A man makes a profit of 5% by selling article for rs840. what percentage of profit will be made if he sold it for rs 900

Answer 2

First let's find CP on Sp= ₹840

Cp= 100/100+P% × Sp

Cp= 100/100+ 5 × 840

Cp= 100/105 × 840

Cp= ₹800

Now Profit % on ₹900 = Profit/CP × 100

Profit= SP- CP

= 900-800

= ₹100

Profit % = 100/800 × 100

= 12.5%

Hence, Profit Made of ₹900 is 12.5%
