Answer 1

for Sahiba = CP = 4500/-
SP = 5000/-
Profit = SP - CP = 5000 - 4500 = 500/-
$profit \: \% = \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100 \\ = 11 \frac{5}{45} or \: 11 \frac{1}{9}$
for salma = CP = 5000/-
SP = 5500/-
Profit = SP - CP = 5500 - 5000
=500
$profit\% = \frac{500}{5000} \times 100 \\ 10\%$
sahiba's % is more

Profit percentage of sahiba=(500/4500)*100=11%
and of salma=(500/5000)*100=10%
