Answer 2

$\huge{\mathbb{\red{ANSWER:-}}}$

Given :-

$\sf{Cost \: price \: of \: 4 \: articles = selling \: price \: of \: 3 \: articles}$

To Find :-

$\sf{profit \: \% = ?}$

Using Formula :-

$\sf{Profit = Selling \: price - Cost \: price}$

$\sf{Profit \: \% =\dfrac{profit}{Cost \: price}\times 100}$

Solution :-

$\sf{C.P.\times 4 = S.P.\times 3}$

$\sf{\dfrac{C.P}{S.P} =\dfrac{3}{4}}$

Here ,

$\sf{Cost \: price = 3 \: Rs}$

$\sf{Selling \: price = 4 \: Rs}$

then ,

$\sf{Profit = 4 - 3 = 1 \: Rs}$

Now ,

$\sf{Profit \: \% =\dfrac{profit}{C.P.}\times 100}$

$\sf{Profit \: \% =\dfrac{1}{3}\times 100}$

$\sf{Profit \: \% =\dfrac{100}{3}}$

$\sf{Profit \: \% = 33\dfrac{1}{3}\%}$

Result :-

$\sf{There \: is \: a \: profit \: of \: 33.33\% .}$
