100 | x 392 |  |
= Rs. | |
1000 | x 392 | |
= Rs. 320 |
| 122.5 | 1225 |

@All.
Profit% = sp - cp/cp * 100.
Sp = 392.
Profit% = 22.5.
Cp = x.
Put the value in the formula, and you get x = 320.
Profit = SP - CP.
So, 392 - 320 = 72.
Profit% = sp - cp/cp * 100.
Sp = 392.
Profit% = 22.5.
Cp = x.
Put the value in the formula, and you get x = 320.
Profit = SP - CP.
So, 392 - 320 = 72.

As we know,
profit% = s.p - c.p/c.p * 100,
22.5 = 392 - x/x * 100,
122.5x = 39200.
x = 320.
Then,
profit = s.p - c.p.
profit = 392 - 320,
profit = 72.
profit% = s.p - c.p/c.p * 100,
22.5 = 392 - x/x * 100,
122.5x = 39200.
x = 320.
Then,
profit = s.p - c.p.
profit = 392 - 320,
profit = 72.

392 = (22.5*x/100) + x,
X = 3200.
392-320 = 72.
X = 3200.
392-320 = 72.

22.5% = 9/40.
CP = 40, Profit = 9 , SP = 49.
According to the question;
49 unit = 392.
1 unit = 8,
Profit = 9 units ×8 = 72.
CP = 40, Profit = 9 , SP = 49.
According to the question;
49 unit = 392.
1 unit = 8,
Profit = 9 units ×8 = 72.

Given sp= 392 and profit % = 22.5.
Let cp = 100%.
Then 122.5% = 392 (sp = cp + profit),
Then 22.5%=? Let it be x (Asked),
=> x = (392 * 22.5)/122.5.
=> x = 72.
Let cp = 100%.
Then 122.5% = 392 (sp = cp + profit),
Then 22.5%=? Let it be x (Asked),
=> x = (392 * 22.5)/122.5.
=> x = 72.

P = C × 0.225 and
C = 392/1.225 = 320.
Thus S = C + P.
P = 320 * 0.225 = 72.
C = 392/1.225 = 320.
Thus S = C + P.
P = 320 * 0.225 = 72.

P = C×0.225 and
C = 392/1.225 = 320 thus ∵ S = C + P
P = 320*0.225 = 72
C = 392/1.225 = 320 thus ∵ S = C + P
P = 320*0.225 = 72

22.5% = 9/40.
Means CP = 40 and SP is 49.
Now total Sales (SP) = 392,
CP/SP= 40/49 if 49 is equal to 392 then 1 is equal to 8, finally we got CP= 40 X 8 =320.
Profit = 392-320 = 72.
Means CP = 40 and SP is 49.
Now total Sales (SP) = 392,
CP/SP= 40/49 if 49 is equal to 392 then 1 is equal to 8, finally we got CP= 40 X 8 =320.
Profit = 392-320 = 72.

22.5% = 9/40.
Means CP = 40 and SP is 49.
Now total Sales (SP) = 392,
CP = 392 ÷ 49 × 40 = 320,
Profit = 392-320 = 72.
Means CP = 40 and SP is 49.
Now total Sales (SP) = 392,
CP = 392 ÷ 49 × 40 = 320,
Profit = 392-320 = 72.
