Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Let the cost price of the article be ? N.
Now, N + 20N/100 = 3600
? 120N/100 = 3600
? N = 3000
Now, profit percentage when the article is sold for ? 3150 = [(3150 - 3000)/3000] x 100
= (150/3000) x 100 = 5%
Correct Answer: ? 144
Explanation:
SP = ? 120 and loss = 15%
? CP = (100/85) x 120 = 2400/17,
Gain = 2%
? Required SP = (102/100) x (2400/17) = ? 144
Correct Answer: ? 184.80
Explanation:
Total CP = (CP + Overhead expenses)
= 150 + 12% of 150
= 150 + (12/100) x 150 = ? 168
Given that, gain = 10%
? SP = (110/100) x 168 = ? 184.80
Correct Answer: 6.25 %
Explanation:
SP = ? 768 and loss = 20%
? CP = (100/80) x 768 = (5/4) x 768 = ? 960
Now, CP = ? 960 and SP = ? 1020
Gain = 1020 - 960 = ? 60
? Gain% = (60/960) x 100% = 6.25%
Correct Answer: 6.25 %

? (120 x N)/100 = 300
? N = (300 x 100)/120 = ? 250
Now, SP = ? 235
Then, loss percentage = [(250 - 235)/250 ] x 100 = 6%
Correct Answer: ? 260
Explanation:
Let cost price of an article = (220 x 100)/110 = ? 200

? (75 - N) x 100 = N2
? N2 + 100N - 7500 = 0
? N2 + 150N - 50N - 7500 = 0
? N(N + 150) - 50 (N + 150) = 0
? (N + 150) (N - 50) = 0
? N = ? 50
