Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16.66% Given: The cost price of an umbrella for Mohan = Rs. 5000 The selling price of Rohit = Rs. 7000 Formula used: Markup price = (cost price) × (100 + % above)/100 Profit = Selling price – Cost price Profit percentage = (Profit/cost price) × 100 Calculation: The cost price of Rohit = the markup price of an umbrella for Mohan ⇒ The cost price of Rohit = the cost price of an umbrella for Mohan × (100 + % above)/100 ⇒ The cost price of Rohit = 5000 × (100 + 20)/100 ⇒ The cost price of Rohit = 50 × 120 ⇒ The cost price of Rohit = Rs. 6000 Profit for Rohit = Selling price of an umbrella for Rohit – Cost price of an umbrella for Rohit ⇒ Profit for Rohit = 7000 – 6000 ⇒ Profit for Rohit = 1000 The profit percentage of Rohit = (1000/6000) × 100 ⇒ The profit percentage of Rohit = 100/6 ⇒ The profit percentage of Rohit = 16.66% ∴ The profit percentage of Rohit is 16.66%. |
