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 |

Let SP= 10 Rs.
If it is doubled den SP =20rs,
So profit will be 10 Rs nothing but 100% profit.
If it is doubled den SP =20rs,
So profit will be 10 Rs nothing but 100% profit.

C.P. = 100, S.P. = 200.
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
= 200 - 100 = 100.
Profit% = 100*100/100 = 100%.
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
= 200 - 100 = 100.
Profit% = 100*100/100 = 100%.

3(y - x) = (2y - x) this equation is wrong given in answer.
The equation must be 3(y-x)=2y.
The equation must be 3(y-x)=2y.

Cp = 1(assume).
Sp = 2(Doubled).
P = 3(Tripled).
G% = sp - cp/cp * 100,
((2-1)/1) * 100 = 100.
Sp = 2(Doubled).
P = 3(Tripled).
G% = sp - cp/cp * 100,
((2-1)/1) * 100 = 100.

CP = x, SP = 2x.
Profit = SP-CP = 2x-x = x.
%profit = (profit/CP)*100.
= x/x*100.
= 100.
Profit = SP-CP = 2x-x = x.
%profit = (profit/CP)*100.
= x/x*100.
= 100.

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

Let cp = 100
sp = 200.
Profit = 200 - 100 = 100,
Profit % = (100/100) * 100 = 100% ( Ans).
sp = 200.
Profit = 200 - 100 = 100,
Profit % = (100/100) * 100 = 100% ( Ans).

Assume s.p=20, profit=10
Then, s.p double=20+20=40
Profit triple=10+10=20+20=40
So 100%.
Then, s.p double=20+20=40
Profit triple=10+10=20+20=40
So 100%.

When selling price doubled even cost price is also doubled than how this comes SP = 2y-x ?
