Question 85

If the cost price of 120 articles is equal to the selling price of 80 articles, find the profit percent.

Solution

Let say,cost price of one article is c and selling price of one article is s.

So, cost price of 120 article is 120c.

And selling price of 80 articles is 80s.

So, 120c=80s.

or,$$(s/c)=120/80=1.5.$$

or,$$(s-c)/c=1.5-1=0.5$$.

So,Profit percentage is 50%.

C is correct choice.
