Question
The cost price and selling price are given in the following table. Find out whether there was a profit or a loss and how much it was.
| Cost Price (in Rs.) |
Selling Price (in Rs) |
Profit or Loss | How much? |

Solution
Cost price = Rs 4500; Selling price = Rs 5000
Here selling price is more than cost price, so there is a profit.
Profit = Selling price − Cost price
= 5000 − 4500
= Rs 500
Hence, there is a profit of Rs 500.
