4 4∕7 %
5 5∕11 %

12%
Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (4700 + 800) = Rs. 5500.
Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 5800.
Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(5800 - 5500) = Rs. 300.
Gain % =

The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
15
16
18
25
Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x.
S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20.
Profit = Rs. (20 - x).
2000 - 100x = 25x
125x = 2000
x = 16.
If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent.
Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y
Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x)
y = 2x.
Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x.
Profit% =

In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
30%
70%
100%
250%
Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.
Required percentage =
= 70%
A vendor bought toffees at 6 for a rupee. How many for a rupee must he sell to gain 20%?
3
4
5
6
C.P. of 6 toffees = Rs. 1
S.P. of 6 toffees = 120% of Rs. 1 = Rs. 6/5
For Rs. 6/5 , toffees sold = 6.
For Rs. 1, toffees sold = (6 x 5/6) = 5.
Some articles were bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5 and sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6. Gain percent is:

Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.
C.P. of 30 articles = Rs.

3.5
4.5
5.6

Cost Price of 1 toy = Rs. (375/12) = Rs. 31.25
Selling Price of 1 toy = Rs. 33
So, Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75
Profit % = (1.75/31.25) x 100 % = 28/5% = 5.6%
