1) Gardening shears bought for Rs.250 and sold for Rs.325.

2) A refrigerator bought for Rs.12,000 and sold at Rs.13,500.

3) A cupboard bought for Rs.2,500 and sold at Rs.3,000.

4) A skirt bought for Rs.250 and sold at Rs.150.

Answer 1

$1)C.P.=Rs.250$

$S.P.=325$

Therefore, Profit = $Rs.75$

Profit % = $\frac{75\times 100}{250}=30$ %

$2)C.P.=Rs.12,000$

$S.P.=Rs.13,500$

Therefore, profit = $Rs.1,500$

Profit % = $\frac{1500\times 100}{12000}=12.5$ %

$3)C.P.=Rs.2,500$

$S.P.=Rs.3,000$

Therefore, profit = $Rs.500$

Profit % = $\frac{500\times 100}{2500}=20$ %

$4)C.P.=Rs.250$

$S.P.=Rs.150$

Therefore, loss = $Rs.100$

Loss % = $\frac{100\times 100}{250}=40$ %
