@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.

Let CP = 100%.
Sp = 100 + 22.5%.
100% = X.
122.5% = 392(Given)
X = (392*100)/122.5,
X = 320.
P = sp - cp.
P = 392 - 320.
P = 72.
Sp = 100 + 22.5%.
100% = X.
122.5% = 392(Given)
X = (392*100)/122.5,
X = 320.
P = sp - cp.
P = 392 - 320.
P = 72.
