    Question

    Sachin sold 153 chairs and had a gain equal to the selling price of 85 chairs. What is his profit percentage?

    A.

    135%

    B.

    125%

    C.

    120%

    D.

    130%

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Sachin sold 153 chairs

    Profit is equal to the Selling Price of 85 chairs

    Need to find the Profit Percentage

    Formula Used:

    Profit = Selling Price (SP) – Cost Price (CP)

    Profit % =  (ProfitCost Price)×100\left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 ​​

    Solution: 

    From:

    SP of 68 chairs = CP of 153 chairs

    68 × SP = 153 × CP

    SPCP=15368=94\frac{SP}{CP} = \frac{153}{68} = \frac{9}{4}​​

    Profit % = (944)×100=54×100=125% \left( \frac{9 - 4}{4} \right) \times 100 = \frac{5}{4} \times 100 = 125\%​​
