    Question

    The total cost price of 12 articles is the same as the

    total selling price of 7 articles. Calculate the percentage profit made on the sale of each article, rounded to two decimal places.
    A 71.42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 76.24% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 68.96% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65.74% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of an article = Rs. '100x' Then, cost price of 12 articles = 12 X 100x = Rs. '1200x' Selling price of 1 article = 1200x ÷ 7 ~ Rs. '171.42x' So, percentage of profit earned on selling 1 article = {(171.42x - 100x)/100x} X 100 = 71.42%
