Question 5 Profit Loss Discount and Value Added Tax Exercise 13.1

A retailer buys a radio for Rs 225. His overhead expenses are Rs 15. If he sells theradio for Rs 300, determine his profit percent.

Answer:

The cost price of a radio = Rs 225

Overhead expenses = Rs 15

Total cost = cost price + overhead expenses

= 225+15

= Rs 240

Selling price of radio = Rs.300

By using the formula,

Gain = selling price – cost price

= 300 – 240

= Rs 60

By using the formula,

Gain % = (gain/cost price) × 100

= 60/240 × 100

= 25 %
