First, we must find the value of 1 article sp and sp.
Second than we find cp/sp ratio.
Cp/sp= 5/6*5/6 = 25/36.
Third find profit:
Sp-cp=36-25 = 11.
Lastly, we must find the percentage profit that is :
11/25 * 100 = 44%.
Second than we find cp/sp ratio.
Cp/sp= 5/6*5/6 = 25/36.
Third find profit:
Sp-cp=36-25 = 11.
Lastly, we must find the percentage profit that is :
11/25 * 100 = 44%.
