Profit Percentage Calculation:
To determine the profit percentage, we need to calculate the profit first. The profit is the difference between the selling price and the cost price.
Given:
Cost price (CP) = Rs 600
Selling price (SP) = Rs 750
Profit Calculation:
Profit = SP - CP
Profit = Rs 750 - Rs 600
Profit = Rs 150
Profit Percentage Calculation:
Profit percentage is calculated by dividing the profit by the cost price and then multiplying by 100.
Profit Percentage = (Profit / CP) * 100
Substituting the values:
Profit Percentage = (150 / 600) * 100
Profit Percentage = 0.25 * 100
Profit Percentage = 25%
Explanation:
The profit percentage is 25%. This means that the seller made a profit of 25% on the cost price of the article. In other words, for every Rs 100 of cost price, the seller made a profit of Rs 25.
