PERCENTAGE PROFIT 3




A man sold an item at 4000/=. Find the profit made if the percentage profit was 19%.

Solution

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

19%  =      P         X  100   
               4000

4000  x 19 = P x 100   

76,000 = 100P

76,000 = 100P
  100       100
        
P = 760
                      
Hence the profit was 760/=

A man sold an item at 6000/=. Find the profit made if the percentage profit was 15%.
