Profit and Loss

Question:

The cost price of 44 items is the same as the selling price of x items. If the profit is 10%, then what is the value of x?

Options:

55

40

60

50

Correct Answer:

40

Explanation:

If the total profit = 10%

then total selling price % is

(100% + 10%) = 110

Now 110 % of x = 44

100% of x  = 44 × \(\frac{100}{110}\)

= 40
