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?

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

Let x is the cost price:
x*22.5/100 = 392-x.
x*22.5/100 = 392-x.

Let x is the cost price:
x*22.5/100 = 392-x.
x*22.5/100 = 392-x.

cp=(100/(100+gain%))*sp
100+(45/2)=122.5
100+(45/2)=122.5
