A book was sold for rs 27.50 with a profit of 10%. If it were sold for rs25.75, then what would be % of profit or loss

• %P=(S.P1-C.P/C.P)*100
  10=(27.50-C.P/C.P)*100
  C.P=25
  S.P2=25.75
  as S.P2>C.P => Profit
  So %P = (25.75-25/25)*100
  %P=3%

• cp*1.1=27.50
  therefore cp=25
  25*x=25.75
  x=1.03
  thus 3% profit..

• 3%
  let cp=100
  sp=110
  original cp=(25.75*100)/110 =25
  profit%= (0.75/25)*100=3%

• step1:-here given 27.50 with a profit of 10% so actual prize of book is 24.75.
  step2 :-it is sold for rs 25.75 so here is profit of 25.75-24.75=1 rs.
  step3:-so 1 rs is in %= 1*100/24.75=4.04%.

• profit=10%
  cost of book=27.5/1.1=25
  profit=25.75/25*100=3 %
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
• s.p of the book is 27.50 and getting 10 % profit
  so cp of that book is (27.50*90)/100 = 24.75
  now again it sold at Rs 25.75 profit is Rs 1
  so, profit percentage is (1/24.75)*100 = 400/99=4(4/99)
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(4)
• s.p=27.50 profit=10%
  c.p=27.50*100/110=25 rs
  s.p=25.75 profit=25.25-25=0.75
  profit%=0.75*100/25=3%

• 3% as cp of book is rs 25 so p% will b 3%

• %p=((S.P.-C.P.)*100)/C.P.
  10 C.P.=2750-100 C.P.
  C.P.=25
  now again use this formula for calculate profit %
  %p=((25.75-25)*100)/25
  ans is 3%
  
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• c.p.=s.p.*{100/(100+p%)}
  so c.p.= 25.
  profit=.75,,
  profit%=.75/c.p. =3%(ans)

• cp*1.1=27.50
  therefore cp=25
  25*x=25.75
  x=1.03
  thus 3% profit..
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• SP=27.50, profit=10%
  therefore CP= SP/1.1 = 25.00
  therefore profit will be of 3% if its sold for 25.75.

• suppose x is purchasing value.
  (27.25-x)=x/10;
  x=25;
  (.75/25)/100=3%

• it would be profit of 1 rs
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• s.p of book is rs27.5 and profit is 10%
  so c.p of book is 10% of x = (27.50-x)
  solving we get x=25,
  so c.p of the book is rs25
  now it is sold for 25.75 so its profit is (25.75-25)=rs .75
  therefore % of profit is .75*100/25=3
  
  or
  if you compare this sum with 100.it become very easy.let c.p is 100 if profit% is 10 it is obvious that s.p will be 110..if we divide 110 by 4 we 27.5,do same to 100 so within a sec we come to know that c.p is 25, and now it is again sold in 25.75 so profit is .75 and now if we multiply .75 by 4 we get % of profit is 3

• gain 10%
  
  cost price =25 rs
  so gain 2.50 rs
  g%=(2.50/25)*100 so,
  gain 10%

• sp of book is 27.50 with 10% profit
  cp of book =27.50*90/100=24.75
  again sold for 25.75
  profit=sp-cp
  =25.75-24.75
  =RS.1
  %profit = 3%

• 27.50is 110%, so 100% is 27.50*100/110 = 25
  now 25.75 is % of 25 = 25.75*100/25 = 103%
  so profit is 103-100 = 3%
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 3%, Selling price = 27.50.Profit = 27.5/110*100 =2.50. ie. cost = 25 (27.5-2.5)
  If selling at Rs. 25.75, profit is .75, in % = 0.75/25*100.
