Question

By selling 66 metres of cloth, a person gains the cost of 22 metres. Find his profit %.

• A. 35%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 40%
• D. 30%

Answer 1

The correct option is B

33.33%

Given, by selling 66 meters of cloth, a person gains the cost of 22 meters.
Hence, the cost price is the cost of 66 meters of cloth and the profit is cost of 22 meters of cloth.

Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{CostPrice}\times 100$

$\therefore$ Profit % = $\frac{22}{66}\times 100$ = 33.33%
