Question

rahul bought a transistor at rs 120 and sold it anand at a profit of 25% if anand sold it to his friend at rs 180 what is the profit percentage of anand

Answer 1

Hey!

Rahul's CP=120.
Profit%=25%.
Selling price= 120(1+25/100)= 120*(5/4)=150Rs

Rahul's SP=Anand's CP.

Anand's CP=150.
SP= 180.
Profit=180-150=30Rs.
Profit%=(30/150)*100.
=( 1/5)*100.
= 20%.
Anand's profit% is 20%.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

The profit percentage of Anand is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of transistor = Rs.120

Profit% = 25%

Profit = $\frac{25}{100} \times 120$

Profit = $30$

SP = CP+Profit = 120+30=Rs.150

So, SP for Anand is Rs.150

CP = Rs.150

SP = Rs.180

Profit %= $\frac{SP-CP}{CP} \times 100$

Profit %= $\frac{180-150}{150} \times 100$

Profit %=20%

Hence the profit percentage of Anand is 20%
