A shopkeeper expects a gain of 22.5% on his cost price. If in a week, his sale was of Rs. 392, what was his profit?

Explanation:
| C.P. = Rs. |  |
100 | x 392 |  |
= Rs. | |
1000 | x 392 | |
= Rs. 320 |
| 122.5 | 1225 |
Profit = Rs. (392 - 320) = Rs. 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

Let Cp=x
Profit= 22.5%
= 225x/100
SP = CP + Profit
392 = x + 225x/100
392 = .225x
x = 320 ( CP)
Profit = SP-CP
= 392-320
= Rs.72/-( Answer)
Profit= 22.5%
= 225x/100
SP = CP + Profit
392 = x + 225x/100
392 = .225x
x = 320 ( CP)
Profit = SP-CP
= 392-320
= Rs.72/-( Answer)

If cost price is Rs100
Profit is 22.5% of cost price.
i.e. 100*22.5% = Rs.22.5
Selling price is 100+22.5 = 122.5
By unitary method if
S.P. is 122.5 then profit is 22.5
Thus if S.P. is Re.1 then profit is 22.5/122.5
And if S.P. is 392 then profit is (22.5/122.5)*392 = Rs 72.
Profit is 22.5% of cost price.
i.e. 100*22.5% = Rs.22.5
Selling price is 100+22.5 = 122.5
By unitary method if
S.P. is 122.5 then profit is 22.5
Thus if S.P. is Re.1 then profit is 22.5/122.5
And if S.P. is 392 then profit is (22.5/122.5)*392 = Rs 72.

Hai guys .......
All are know find profit percentage formula
%p=((sp-cp)/cp)*100
given sp=392
profit percentage is 22.5%
apply given value to formula
22.5=((392-x)/x)*100
x=320
profit=sp-cp
profit=392-320
Ans is 72.

Cost Price: (C.P.)
C.P. =100x S.P.
(100 + Gain %)
