PERCENTAGE PROFIT 1

A man got a profit of 4000/= after selling an item. Find the buying price if the percentage profit was 10%.

Solution

%’ge profit = Profit   X  100    where B. P. represents Buying Price.
                         B.P

10% = 4000   X  100   
              B.P.

B.P. x 10 = 400,000   

        
B.P. x  101 =   400,000   
  110                   10

B.P. = 40,000
                      
Hence Buying Price was 40,000/=
