Question

toffees are bought at 2 for a rupee and sold at 5 for rs 3 .find the gain or loss per cent.

Answer 1

hello Frnd

Sale price of coffee = 5
and cost price = 2
and profit = 3

We know that the profits are charged on cost price.

That why we will calculate on ₹ 2

$2 \times x \div 100 = 3$
$2x = 300 \\ x = 150$
hence the % of profit earned on coffee is 150%


hope it helps
