Answer 1

The profit is

first we calculate profit

so,

Sunita bought an object in = Rs 10 (c.p)

Sunita sold it for = Rs 15 (S.P)

Profit value = S.P - C.P

S. P = 15

C. P=10

= 15 - 10

= 5

Now, We find Profit percent

Formula to find profit percent = Profit/C.P X 100

Profit = Rs5

C.P = Rs10

=5/10 X 100

=50%
