Question Detail
In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit
- 70%
- 80%
- 90%
- None of above
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let C.P.= Rs. 100.
Then, Profit = Rs. 320,
S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295
Required percentage = (295/420) * 100
= 70%(approx)

- Rs.1200
- Rs.1230
- Rs.1260
- Rs.1290
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the new S.P. be x, then.
(100 - loss%):(1st S.P.) = (100 + gain%):(2nd S.P.)
=>(951140=105x)=>x=1260
5. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25% then determine the value of x.
- 14
- 15
- 16
- 17
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the cost price 1 article = Re 1
Cost price of x articles = x
S.P of x articles = 20
Gain = 20 -x
=>25=(20−xx∗100)=>2000−100x=25x=>x=16
