Question 145

What was the percent profit on the transaction?

Solution

C.P. = Rs. 5,600

M.P. = $$\frac{112}{100} * 5600$$ = Rs. 6,272

Discount = 5% of 6272

= $$\frac{5}{100} * 6272$$ = Rs. 313.6

=> S.P. = 6272 - 313.6 = Rs. 5,958.4

$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{5958.4 - 5600}{5600} * 100$$

= $$\frac{358.4}{56}$$ = 6.4%
