Question : 81 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

There is a profit of 20% on the cost price of an article. The % of profit, when calculated on selling price is

$16 2/ 3 %$
$20%$
$33 1/ 3 %$
None of these

Solution:

(1) C.P. of article = Rs. x
S.P.

= {120 x}/{100}=

Rs.

{6 x}/{5}

Gain

= {6 x}/{5}-x= {6 x-5 x}/{5}=\Rs.x/5

∴ Gain per cent

= { { \Gain }}/{ { \S.\P. }} × 100

= { {x}/{5}}/{ {6 x}/{5}} × 100= {50}/{3}=16 {2}/{3} \%
