    Question

    Mohan sold 153 chairs and had a gain equal to the selling price of 68 chairs. What is his profit percentage?

    A.

    80%

    B.

    90%

    C.

    85%

    D.

    75%

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Number of chairs sold = 153

    Gain = Selling Price (S.P.) of 68 chairs

    Formula Used:

    Profit % = (GainC.P.)×100\left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{C.P.}} \right) \times 100​​

    Solution: 

    Let the S.P. of 1 chair = Rs. 1

    Then:

    Total S.P. = 153 × 1 = Rs.153

    Gain = Rs. 68

    C.P. = S.P. – Gain = Rs. 153 – 68 = Rs. 85

    Profit % = 6885×100=80%\frac{68}{85} \times 100 = 80\%​​
