A shopkeeper by selling 13 Titan watches, earns a profit equal to the selling price of 3 Titan watches. His profit percentage is
Let cost price of a watch = $$Rs. x$$
Selling price of a watch = $$Rs. y$$
=> Selling price of 3 watches = $$Rs. 3y$$
According to ques, => $$13(y - x) = 3y$$
=> $$13y - 13x = 3y$$
=> $$10y = 13x$$
=> $$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{10}{13}$$
Let Cost price, $$x = 10$$ and selling price, $$y = 13$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{y - x}{x} \times 100$$
= $$\frac{13 - 10}{10} \times 100$$
= $$3 \times 10 = 30\%$$
