Question

Rohit bought books worth 1200 and spent
250 on packaging. Find his loss or profit per
cent if he sold them for 1740.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount he paid = 1200+250=1450

now,

1450<1740 , so he had profit

His profit = 290

=> His profit percentage = 290×100/1450 = 20%

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Money spent on books = 1200

Money spent on packaging = 250

Total c.p = 1200 + 250

= 1450

SP>CP

Profit = SP - CP

= 1740 - 1450

= 290

Profit% =

$\frac{profit}{c.p} \times 100$

$\frac{290}{1450} \times 100$

Profit% = 20%
