A shopkeeper sold an article for Rs 2564.36. Approximately what was his profit percent if the cost price of the article was Rs 2400

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

So we have C.P. = 27.50
S.P. = 28.60

Gain = 28.60 - 27.50 = Rs. 1.10

\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{1.10}{27.50} * 100 \right)\% = 4\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the S.P = 100
then C.P. = 25

Profit = 75

Profit% = 75/25 * 100 = 3005

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We need to get the Total selling price to solve this question. Because after getting selling price we can get profit or loss, then we can calculate profit% or loss%

So lets solve this:

Price Received by selling one fourth of the material at a loss of 20% =
(1/4) * 600 * (80/100) = Rs. 120

Price Received by remaining material at a gain of 10% =
(3/4) * 600 * (110/100) = Rs. 495 [Note: 1-(1/4) = 3/4]

Total Selling Price = 120 + 465 = Rs. 615

Profit = 615 - 600 = 15

\begin{aligned}
Profit\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{15}{600} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \frac{5}{2}\% = 2\frac{1}{2}\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the cost price = Rs 100
then, Marked price = Rs 135

Required gain = 8%,
So Selling price = Rs 108
Discount = 135 - 108 = 27

Discount% = (27/135)*100 = 20%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the C.P. = x,
Then S.P. = (120/100)x = 6x/5
New S.P. = 2(6x/5) = 12x/5

Profit = 12x/5 - x = 7x/5

Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100
=> (7x/5) * (1/x) * 100 = 140 %
