Question

A wooden almirah is sold at a certain price. By selling it at 2/3 of that price one loses 10%. Find the profit percent at the original price

Options

• 15%

• 25%

• 35%

• 45%

Answer 1

35%

Explanation:

Let SP₁ = 300

SP₂ = 200 .........`[∴2/3 "of"  "SP"_1]`

Let CP = ₹ x

Loss % = 10`=90/100`of CP = 200

x =`2000/9`

Profit %`=(300-"x")/"x"xx100`

`=(300-2000/9)/(2000/9)xx100=35%`
