Question

Find the profit from each sale and sort from the least profitable to the most profitable(from top to bottom).

• A. CP = 100
  SP = 300
• B. CP = 100
  SP = 150
• C. CP.= 75
  SP = 100
• D. CP = 110
  SP = 180

Answer 1

Profit = S.P - C.P

1) C.P. = 100 , S.P. =300
$\therefore$ Profit = 300-100 = 200

2) C.P. = 100 , S.P. = 150
$\therefore$ Profit = 150 - 100 = 50

3) C.P. = 75 , S.P. = 100
$\therefore$ Profit = 100 - 75 = 25

4) C.P. = 110 , S.P. = 180
$\therefore$ Profit = 180 - 110 = 70

So, from the least profitable to the most profitable sale, the order will be
25 < 50 < 70 < 200
