Question

Mini purchased a dozen handkerchiefs for $RS60$ and sold them for $RS84$ whereas TRishika purchased a dozen handkerchiefs for $RS90$ and sold them for $RS150$. Whose profit percentage is more and by how much?

Answer 1

Profit percentage $=\frac{sellingPrice-costPrice}{costPrice}\times 100$

Mini

Profit $\%=\left(\frac{84-60}{60}\right)\times 100$

$=\frac{24}{60}\times 100=40\%$

Trishika

Profit $\%=\left(\frac{150-90}{90}\right)\times 100$

$=\frac{60}{90}\times 100=66.6\%$

Trihika profit percent is more than mini by $26.6\%$
