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

Fraction 22.5/100 = 9/40.
CP =40 sp =49 given 49 = 392.
1 unit = 8
So cp 40 * 8 = 320.
392 - 320 = profit.
72.

C.P=(S.P/% OF PROFIT) * 100,
=(392÷(100+22.5) * 100,
=320.
PROFIT= S.P - C.P.
= 392-320
=72.
=(392÷(100+22.5) * 100,
=320.
PROFIT= S.P - C.P.
= 392-320
=72.

Cross multiply,
122.5 ---------> Rs. 392
100 -----------> ??
Ans: 320
==> Profit = 390 - 320
122.5 ---------> Rs. 392
100 -----------> ??
Ans: 320
==> Profit = 390 - 320

SP=CP+GAIN.
CP+(22.5/100)*CP=392
So, CP=320 & PROFIT=392-320=72.
Hope you get it. Thanks.
CP+(22.5/100)*CP=392
So, CP=320 & PROFIT=392-320=72.

CP = RS 100.
PROFFIT = 22.5.
SP= 122.5.
GIVEN SP = Rs 392.
So PROFIT = 22.5/122.5*392 =72.
PROFFIT = 22.5.
SP= 122.5.
GIVEN SP = Rs 392.
So PROFIT = 22.5/122.5*392 =72.

1225 = 3920.
100 = ?
? = (3920*100)/1225.
C.P = 320.
So profit = 392-320.
= 72 Rs.
100 = ?
? = (3920*100)/1225.
C.P = 320.
So profit = 392-320.
= 72 Rs.

C.P = (100sp)/(100+p).
>>100*392/122.5 = 320.
>>profit = 392-320 = 72.
>>100*392/122.5 = 320.
>>profit = 392-320 = 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
