What is the ratio by which the $C . P$ has to be multiplied to get the $S . P$ ., if the profit is $10 %$ ?

Open in App

Solution

% profit = $\frac{p r o f i t}{C P} \times 100$
$10 = \frac{P}{C P} \times 100$
$∴ P = \frac{1}{10} \times C P$ _______ (1)
Now
P= SP-CP
$\frac{C P}{10} = S P - C P$ (from (1))
$S P = \frac{11 C P}{10}$
