- Let the CP of one article = Rs. C and SP = Rs. S
21C = 18S
C = (6/7)S
C < S = Profit
Formula : SP = (100 + P% / 100) CP
S = (100 + P% / 100 ) C
S/C = (100 + P% / 100 )
7/6 = (100 + P% / 100 )
7/6 X 100 = 100 + P%
700/6 - 100 = P%
100/6 = P %
P % = 16.67

- cost prize =18
sales prize =21
profit=3/18*100=16.66
so anwser is 16.67 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- let cp of each item=rs1
then
cp of 18 item=rs18
sp of 18 item is rs 21
profit=sp-cp=3
profit%=(3/18)*100=16.67% ans - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- If cost price of M articles =cost price of N articles then
according to formula (M-N)/N*100
here M=21, N=18
(21-18)/18*100=16.67 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- Suppose cp= 1Rs for each article
after selling 18 we got our cost for all article now 3 are remaining.
sp of each article=21/18=1.167Rs
remaining 3=3*1.67=3.3Rs
profit=3.5/21=0.16666=16.67%. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- sp*18=cp*21
sp/cp=21/18
subtarct 1 both the side:
sp/cp-1=21/18-1
profit=3/18=1/6
profit%=100/6=16.67%

- 21-18=3;
3/18=0.16666;
0.16666*100=16.67% - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- there is quick method... (cp-sp/sp)*100
so
21-18/18*100=16.67% - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
