Answers
Answer:
answr is 10 option 2.
since difference ia 126 =15%
then 924= 924/126×100 = 110
profit here 110-100 = 10 %
p =10
ANSWER IS 10%
CONCEPT USED -
1) Profit percent is calculated on cp.
eg If the CP is 10 Rs and i got profit of 5 Rs then profit is 50 %
2)
- If the profit is 10 Rs and CP also 10Rs so P = 100% .ie 100% profit gives us CP.
Now in the above question the CP is same but SP is changing
Difference :-
The question says the profit is 15% extra from the previous one :
we sold for 126 Rs more ie we got a profit of 126 Rs more than the previous one.
So this 126 Rs profit give us 15% extra profit.So if we find 100% profit and that will be CP.
OR You can put values in this formula
Using 1st method
For profit%
So profit = 10%
