Question

Match the profit/loss percentage in each of the below cases.

• A. 25% loss
• B. 100% profit
• C. 80% loss
• D. 20% profit

Answer 1

Case(1):
CP = ₹10, SP = ₹12
Since, CP < SP
So, it is the case of profit.
$profit\%=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$
$=\frac{12-10}{10}\times 100$
$=\frac{2}{10}\times 100=20$

Case(2):
CP = ₹5, SP = ₹1
Since, CP > SP
So, it is the case of loss.
$loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100$
$=\frac{5-1}{5}\times 100$
$=\frac{4}{5}\times 100=80$

Case(3):
CP = ₹20, SP = ₹15
Since, CP > SP
So, it is the case of loss.
$loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100$
$=\frac{20-15}{20}\times 100$
$=\frac{5}{20}\times 100=25$

Case(4):
CP = ₹50, SP = ₹100
Since, CP < SP
So, it is the case of profit.
$profit\%=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$
$=\frac{100-50}{50}\times 100$
$=\frac{50}{50}\times 100=100$
