Question

Sugar cost increased by 25% and buying
costumers decrease buy 15% how much percentage profit or lost occurred?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, initial sugar price is 100/kg & initial buyers are 100

when it increases by 25%

i.e. 100+25/100x100 = 125/kg

buyers becomes 100-15/100x100 = 85

So, if they buy same amount of sugar

    earlier sale = 100x100 = 10000

    later sale = 125x85 = 10625

Profit = 10625-10000/100 = 6.25%
