    price of 32 items, determine the percentage of profit or loss. (Answer should be round off up to nearest integer)
    A 23% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 26% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 23% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 26% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of 1 article be Rs. 'b'. Cost price of 32 articles = Rs. 32b So, selling price of 26 articles = Rs. 32b Or, selling price of 1 article = Rs. (32b/26) Profit earned = (32b/26) - b = Rs. (6b/26) Therefore, required profit percentage = [(6b/26) ÷ b] X 100 = (300/13) ~ 23%
