The cost price of an article is $$\frac{6}{7}$$ of its selling price. What will be the profit or loss percentage?
Let's assume the selling price of the article is '7y'.
The cost price of an article is $$\frac{6}{7}$$ of its selling price.
the cost price of an article =Â $$7y \times\frac{6}{7}$$ = 6y
Profit % =Â $$\frac{(selling\ price-\cos t\ price)}{\cos t\ price}\times100$$
=Â $$\frac{(7y - 6y)}{6y}\times100$$
=Â Â $$\frac{y}{6y}\times100$$
= $$\frac{100}{6}$$
=Â 16.67%
