Question

which gives greater rate of profit of rs 15 on article which cost rs 35 and rs 40 on an article which cost rs 90 and by what percentage??
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CASE 1

CP of the article=15/-

SP of the article=35/-

SP is greater than CP

So there is a profit

Profit=SP – CP

=35 – 15

=20

Since , profit=20/-

PROFIT%= Profit/CP × 100

= 20/15 × 100

=4/3 × 100

=400/3%

Therefore,profit% = (approximate) ≈133.3%

CASE 2

CP of the article=40/-

SP of the article=90/-

SP is greater than CP

SP is greater than CPSo there is a profit

Profit = SP – CP

=90 – 40

=50

Since , profit = 50/-

PROFIT% = Profit/CP × 100

= 50/40×100

= 125

Therefore, profit%=125%

NOW LET US COMPARE

25% and 125%

we can observe that 125% is greater than 25%

So the second case will have more profit by 100%
