If a person sells his car in 50000 rupees and got 17% profit. What will be the profit in percentage if he sold this car in 47000 rupees?
Solution
Profit = 17 %
Sp of car = Rs 50000
Cp = sp/1 + .profit percentage
Cp = 50000/1+.17
Cp= 50000/1.17= Rs 42735.04
Now he wants to sell at Rs 47000
New sp = Rs 47000
Profit sp-cp = 47000-42735.04 = Rs 4264.96
Profit % = profitx100/cp
Profit % = 4264.96×100/42735.04 = 9.98 %
New profit % = 9.98
