Question

Pramod sold 154 chairs and had a gain equal to the selling price of 54 chairs. What is his profit percentage?

A.

64%

B.

59%

C.

49%

D.

54%

Correct option is D

Given:
Number of chairs sold = 154
Gain = Selling Price of 54 chairs
Formula Used:
Profit Percentage=(ProfitCost Price)×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100​​
Solution:
Let the Selling Price (SP) of 1 chair be ₹1
Total SP of 154 chairs = ₹154
Gain = SP of 54 chairs = ₹54
So, Cost Price (CP) = SP – Gain = 154 – 54 = ₹100
Profit Percentage = (54100)×100=54%\left( \frac{54}{100} \right) \times 100 = 54\%​​
