Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To find the percentage profit, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the profit.
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = 820 - 615 = ₹205.
Step 2: Calculate the profit percentage.
Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 = (205 / 615) × 100.
Simplify: (205 / 615) × 100 = (1/3) × 100 ≈ 33.33%.
Therefore, the percentage profit is approximately 33.33%.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
लाभ प्रतिशत ज्ञात करने के लिए निम्नलिखित चरणों का पालन करें:
चरण 1: लाभ की गणना करें।
लाभ = विक्रय मूल्य - क्रय मूल्य = 820 - 615 = ₹205।
चरण 2: लाभ प्रतिशत की गणना करें।
लाभ प्रतिशत = (लाभ / क्रय मूल्य) × 100 = (205 / 615) × 100।
सरलीकरण: (205 / 615) × 100 = (1/3) × 100 ≈ 33.33%।
इसलिए, लाभ प्रतिशत लगभग 33.33% है।
