Question

Ketan sold 151 chairs and had a gain equal to the selling price of 51 chairs. What is his profit percentage?

A.

56%

B.

46%

C.

61%

D.

51%

Correct option is D

Given:

Ketan sold 151 chairs.

His gain is equal to the selling price of 51 chairs.

Formula Used:

Profit Percentage =  (ProfitCost Price)×100(\frac{Profit }{ Cost \ Price}) × 100​​

Solution:

Let the selling price of one chair be ₹SP.

Total selling price = 151 × ₹SP = ₹151SP.

Gain = Selling price of 51 chairs = ₹51SP.

Cost Price = Selling Price - Gain

Cost Price = ₹151SP - ₹51SP = ₹100SP.

Profit Percentage = (51SP100SP)×100=51%(\frac{₹51SP }{ ₹100SP}) × 100 = 51 \%​​
