Answer 1

Answer:

P% = 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP : Rs. 1125

D% = 15%

MP = 25% above the CP

MP = $1125 + \frac{25* 1125}{100}$

MP = 1125 + 281.25

MP = Rs. 1406.25

SP = MP ( 100 - D%)/100

SP = 1406.25*( 100 - 15%)/100

SP = 1406.25 * (85)/100

SP = 1406.25 * 0.85

SP = Rs. 1195.3125

P = Rs. 1195.3125 - Rs. 1125

P = Rs 70.3125

P% = P/CP * 100

P% = 70.3125/1125 * 100

P% = 0.0625 *100

P% = 6.25%
