A salesman expects a gain of 25% on his cost price. If in a month his sale was Rs 45,500 what was his profit?1. Rs. 91002. Rs. 96003. Rs. 75004. Rs. 8600

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 9100

Given:

Gain percent = 25% on cost price

Selling Price = Rs. 45,500

Formula used:

Profit = SP - CP

Calculation:

Let the cost price be 100 unit

According to the question

Expected Selling price = 100 + 25 = 125 unit

125 unit → Rs. 45,500

1 unit → 45500/125

1 unit → 364

100 unit → 364 × 100

CP = 100 unit = Rs. 36,400

Now, Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 45,500 - 36,400

Profit = Rs. 9100

∴ Required profit is Rs. 9100.
