100 | x 392 |  |
= Rs. | |
1000 | x 392 | |
= Rs. 320 |
| 122.5 | 1225 |
Profit = Rs. (392 - 320) = Rs. 72.

Gain% = 22.5; S.p =392.
C.P = (100/(100 + Gain%) * S.P).
C.P =(100/ (100 + 22.5) * 392) = 320.
So, profit = S.p - C.p = 392 - 320 = 72.
C.P = (100/(100 + Gain%) * S.P).
C.P =(100/ (100 + 22.5) * 392) = 320.
So, profit = S.p - C.p = 392 - 320 = 72.

I think this the formula for the first step;
Cp*(100 +Profit or Loss% / 100) = SP.
Therefore, CP = SP*100/(100 + Profit or loss%).
Cp*(100 +Profit or Loss% / 100) = SP.
Therefore, CP = SP*100/(100 + Profit or loss%).

Let profit is x
s.p. = 392
c.p. = 392-x
now profit/c.p. = 22.5%
x/(392-x) = 22.5/100
x/392 = 22.5/122.5
solving this we get x = 72
s.p. = 392
c.p. = 392-x
now profit/c.p. = 22.5%
x/(392-x) = 22.5/100
x/392 = 22.5/122.5
solving this we get x = 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.

22.5% = 9/40.
C.P = 40unit,
profit=9unit.
Then S.P = 49unit.
Given
49unit = Rs 392,
1unit = Rs 8,
9unit = Rs 72(S.P).
C.P = 40unit,
profit=9unit.
Then S.P = 49unit.
Given
49unit = Rs 392,
1unit = Rs 8,
9unit = Rs 72(S.P).

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.

cp =100 profit =22.5
sp =100+22.5 =122.5.
122.5 -------------> 22.5
392 --------------> x.
(392|*22.5)/122.5 = 72.
sp =100+22.5 =122.5.
122.5 -------------> 22.5
392 --------------> x.
(392|*22.5)/122.5 = 72.

Hi to all
Let profit be 100
Given that gain is 22.5%
122.5--- 392
100---?
ie,(100*392)/122.5=320
profit=392-320=72
