Question

Shyam sold 500 kg potatoes for 2250
and earned a profit of 12.5%. If he sold
them at 4per kg, find his profit or loss
percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 500kg =2250rs.

SP of 1 kg =2250/500

= 4.5rs.

profit %= 12.5%

then

CP of 500kg potatoes = 2000rs.

if he sold them at 4 rs/kg

then

SP = 500*4 =2000rs.

profit =SP -CP =2000-2000=0

profit %= Profit /CP *100

=0%

hence,

no profit no loss .

Answer 2

Answer:

0%

Given:-

• 500 kg potato selling price = 2250
• profit % = 12.5%

To find:-

• profit or loss %

Solution:-

firstly,

we will solve for cost price

$selling \: price \: of \: 500kg \: potato \\ \\ 500 \times 4 = 2000 \\ \\ there \: for \: \\ \\ we \: will \: solve \: for \: cost \: \\ price \: of \: 500 \: kg \: potato$

$cost \: price = \frac{100 \times selling \: price}{100 + profit\%} \\ \\ cost \: price \: = \frac{100 \times 2250}{100 + 12.5} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{225000}{112.5} \\ \\ cost \: price = 2000$

there for

$cost \: price \: and \: selling \: price \: both \: are \: equal \\ \\ there \: is \: no \: profit \: no \: loss$
