The numerical value of the Profit % is equal in both cases and the Cost price of a chair is one-third the cost price of a table. Find the ratio of the selling price of a chair to a table.Solution

Profit percentage = (5Sc/30c) × 100 = (50Sc/3c) % Since the profit percentages are equal: The ratio of the selling price of a chair to a table is 6:5.
