Question 61

Sudhir purchased a laptop for ₹42,000 and a scanner-cum-printer for ₹8,000. He sold the laptop for a 10% profit and the scanner-cum-printer for a 5% profit. What is his profit percentage?

Solution

Cost price of laptop = Rs.42000

Profit = 10%

Selling price = 42000 $$\times \frac{110}{100}$$ = Rs.46200

Cost price of printer = Rs.8000

Profit = 5%

Selling price = 8000 $$\times \frac{105}{100}$$ = Rs.8400

Total selling price = 46200 + 8400 = Rs.54600

Total cost price = 42000 + 8000 = Rs.50000

Total profit = 54600 - 50000 = Rs.4600

Total profit% = $$\frac{4600}{50000} \times 100 = 9 \frac{1}{5}$$
