Question

The selling price of 13 articles is same as the cost price of 23 articles. What is the profit percentage?

• A. 43.47%
• B. 74.83%
• C. 78%
• D. 76.92%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 76.92%

According to question:
23 x CP = 13 x SP
$\frac{CP}{SP}=\frac{13}{23}$
profit (%) $=\frac{23-13}{13}\times 100=\frac{10}{13}\times 100=76.92\%$
