The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

Correct Answer: 1800

Explanation:

Least Cost Price = Rs. (200 * 8) = Rs. 1600.

Greatest Selling Price = Rs. (425 * 8) = Rs. 3400.

Required profit = Rs. (3400 - 1600) = Rs. 1800.

Correct Answer: 166.66%

Explanation:

Let the cost price of 1-liter pure milk be Re.1, then 

  6 l i t e r s ( m i l k ) ? C . P = R s . 6 2 l i t e r s ( w a t e r ) ? C . P = R s . 0 ? C P = R s . 6 o n l y

 

8 litre mixture  =>

SP =>  8 x 2 = Rs. 16

 

Profit % =  16 - 6 6 x 100 = 1000 6 = 166 . 66 %

Correct Answer: 21%

Explanation:

Gain % = 100 + c o m m o n g a i n % 2 100 - 100%           

 

           = 100 + 10 2 100 - 100

 

            = 21%

Correct Answer: 100%

Explanation:

Let the C.P be Rs.100 and S.P be Rs.x, Then
The profit is (x-100)
Now the S.P is doubled, then the new S.P is 2x
New profit is (2x-100)
Now as per the given condition;
=> 3(x-100) = 2x-100
By solving, we get
x = 200
Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100
Hence the profit percentage is 100%

Correct Answer: 16

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x. 

S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20. 

Profit = Rs. (20 - x). 

20 - x x * 100 = 25 

=> 2000 - 100x = 25x 

=> 125x=2000 

=> x=16

Correct Answer: 50%

Explanation:

Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.

Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1

Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8

Selling price of 8 pens = 12

Gain = 12 - 8 = 4

Gain% = g a i n cos t × 100%  =  4 8 × 100% = 50%

Correct Answer: 10000

Explanation:

Cost Price =  R s . 100 125 × 8750 = Rs. 7000. Let the labelled price be Rs. x. 

 

Then,  70 100 * x = 7000  ? x = R s . 7000 * 100 70 

 

= Rs.10000

Correct Answer: Rs 1.33

Explanation:

Recall it is based on inverse proportion or product constancy concept.

 

 

 

     Reducion in price                      increase in amount

 

 

 

         25%     1/4                              1/3   33.33% = 4 oranges

 

 

 

It means original number of oranges = 4 x 3 = 12

 

 

 

original price of oranges = 16/12 = Rs. 1.33

Correct Answer: 50 dozens

Explanation:

Cost Price of 2 dozen oranges Rs. (5 + 4) = Rs. 9.
Sell price of 2 dozen oranges = Rs. 11.
If profit is Rs 2, oranges bought = 2 dozen.
If profit is Rs. 50, oranges bought = (2/2) * 50 dozens = 50 dozens.

Correct Answer: 300%

Explanation:

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

Profit = 75

Profit% = (75/25) * 100 = 300%
