3.
If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y.
Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) 
y = 2x.
Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x.
 Profit % = |
 |
x | x 100 |  % = 100% |
| x |

Suppose c.p = x,
SP = 2x.
profit = 2x - x =x.
Profit % = (profit/ c.p )* 100 => (x / x) * 100.
Hence profit% = 100.
SP = 2x.
profit = 2x - x =x.
Profit % = (profit/ c.p )* 100 => (x / x) * 100.
Hence profit% = 100.

Assume cp=100.
And sp = 200. (sp double).
Means profit = 100.
Profit %= profit * 100/ cp.
= 100 * 100/100,
=100.
And sp = 200. (sp double).
Means profit = 100.
Profit %= profit * 100/ cp.
= 100 * 100/100,
=100.

EX: If price is 50 and you sell that thing for RS150 than simply your profit is 100%.
Because here there no loss.

Given;
2SP=3P (P=SP-CP),
2SP=3SP-3CP,
SP=3CP OR SP/CP =3 (PROFIT=2),
%P=(2÷1)*100 =200 %will be answer.
2SP=3P (P=SP-CP),
2SP=3SP-3CP,
SP=3CP OR SP/CP =3 (PROFIT=2),
%P=(2÷1)*100 =200 %will be answer.

@Bhagath.
Gain%=(Gain*100)/C.P.
65%= (x*100)/2(65%).
65% = (x*100)/(130%),
65%*130% = (x*100),
X = 8.45%.
Gain%=(Gain*100)/C.P.
65%= (x*100)/2(65%).
65% = (x*100)/(130%),
65%*130% = (x*100),
X = 8.45%.

Let,
The
Cost Price = x.
Selling Price = 2x.
The formula is; (SP-CP)/CP * 100.
(2x-x)/x * 100 = 100% (Ans).
The
Cost Price = x.
Selling Price = 2x.
The formula is; (SP-CP)/CP * 100.
(2x-x)/x * 100 = 100% (Ans).

Let c.p=x
s.p=2x
profit=s.p-c.p
=2x-x
=x
%profit=(x/x*100)
=100%
s.p=2x
profit=s.p-c.p
=2x-x
=x
%profit=(x/x*100)
=100%

Let C.P. --> x then.
S.P. --> 2x.
Profit = S.P.-C.P. = 2x-x = x.
Profit% = Profit\C.P.*100 = 100%.
S.P. --> 2x.
Profit = S.P.-C.P. = 2x-x = x.
Profit% = Profit\C.P.*100 = 100%.

profit = sp - cp.
3 profit = 2 sp - cp.
profit = cp.
profit % = profit / cp * 100 = cp / cp * 100 = 100%.
3 profit = 2 sp - cp.
profit = cp.
profit % = profit / cp * 100 = cp / cp * 100 = 100%.
