Question

A man purchased an item for ₹1,200, spent ₹300 on its repairs and sold it for ₹2,000. What is the profit percentage?

A.

3313\tfrac{1}{3}%​

B.

33%

C.

66.66%

D.

40%

Correct option is A

Given:

Cost Price (CP) = ₹1,200

Repair Cost = ₹300 (This is an additional expense, so it is added to CP)

Total Cost Price = ₹1,200 + ₹300 = ₹1,500

Selling Price (SP) = ₹2,000

Formula Used:

Profit=SP−Total CP

Profit Percentage=(ProfitTotal CP)×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Total CP}} \right) \times 100​​

Solution:

Profit=2,000−1,500=500

Profit Percentage=(5001500)×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{500}{1500} \right) \times 100​​

= 500×1001500=500001500=\frac{500 \times 100}{1500} = \frac{50000}{1500} = 331333\frac{1}{3}  %

Option (A) is right.
