Question

Rajesh bought a sofa set for Rupees 6500 and paid rupee 150 for it transportation he then sold it for rupees 7500 find his profit percentage

Answer 1

Solution:

Cost price of a sofa = Rs6500

Transportation charges = Rs150

Total cost price (c.p) =Rs6650

Selling price (s.p) = Rs 7500

s.p > c.p ,

so gets profit.

profit (g) = s.p - c.p

= 7500 - 6650

= Rs850

Now ,

profit percentage=(g×100)/(c.p)

= (850 × 100)/6650

= 8500/665

= 12.78

Therefore,

profit percentage = 12.78%

Answer 2

Answer:

12.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Selling price =  7500

Cost price of a sofa = 6500

Transportation= 150

Total cost price =6650

                                         

So,

In this question

s.p > c.p

                       

First of all, we will have to find Profit.

Profit =  s.p - c.p

= 7500 - 6650

=> 850 is the profit

                   

According to question, we have to find profit percentage.

So,

→ profit percentage= $\frac{g * 100}{c.p}$

= $\frac{8500}{665} = 12.78$

= 8500/665

= 12.78

                       

Therefore,

Profit percentage is 12.78
