Answer 1

Answer:

gaining 25% and selling 33.33%

Answer 2

Answer:33.333.......%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the SP of 1 book be x

Then the sp of 6 books = 6x

And the SP of 8 books = 8x

But it is given that cp of 8 books = sp of 6 books = 6x

So, the cp = 6x and sp = 8x

Since, sp >cp so, profit = 2x

Profit % = 2x/6x*100

Profit % = 33.333...............%
