Question:

By selling 39 articles, a person gets the profit equal to selling price of 9 articles. Find profit percent

Options:

30%

32%

40%

35%

Correct Answer:

30%

Explanation:

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

ATQ,

⇒ S.P. of 9 = S.P. of 39 - C.P. of 39

⇒ C.P. of 39 = S.P. of 30

Profit = 3R

Profit percent = \(\frac{3}{10}\) × 100 = 30%
