A retailer buys a used laptop for ₹22,500.
Actual cost price = 22500
His overhead expenses are ₹1,500.
cost price after adding expenses (final cost price) = 22500+1500 = 24000
He sells the laptop for ₹30,000.
Profit percentage = $$\frac{\left(selling\ price\ -\cos t\ price\ after\ adding\ \exp enses\right)}{\cos t\ price\ after\ adding\ \exp enses}\times100$$
= $$\frac{\left(30000\ -24000\right)}{24000}\times100$$
= $$\frac{6000}{24000}\times100$$
= $$\frac{1}{4}\times100$$
= 25%
