An article is sold at 30% loss. If the selling price is increased by 50%, then what is the profit percentage?
Let cost price = Rs. $$100$$
Loss % = 30%
=> Selling price = $$100-(\frac{30}{100}\times100)$$
= $$100-30=Rs.$$ $$70$$
If selling price is increased by 50%, => New selling price = $$70+(\frac{50}{100}\times70)$$
= $$70+35=Rs.$$ $$105$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{(105-100)}{100}\times100=5\%$$
