Solution

Let, CP $= 2400$
a) profit % $= 15$ % CP = $\frac{3}{5} \times 2400 = 1440$ .

$\frac{15}{100} = \frac{S P - 1440}{1440}$

$S P = 1.15 \times 1440 = 1656 R s$

Total profit $= 20$

$\frac{20}{100} = \frac{S P - 2400}{2400}$

$S P = 1.2 \times 2400 = 2880 R s$

b) SP of remaining 1 items $= 2880 - 1656 = 1224$ Rs

Cost price of reamaining $⟹ 1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$ part
$C P = \frac{2}{5} \times 2400 = 960 R s .$

Profit % = $\frac{1224 - 960}{960} \times 100 = 27.5$ %
