A retailer buys a cooler for Rs 1200 and overhead expenses on it are Rs 40. If he sells the cooler for Rs 1550, determine his profit percent.
We know the cost price of cooler = Rs 1200
Overhead expenses = Rs 40
Total cost = Rs 1200 + Rs 40 = Rs 1240
Selling price of cooler = Rs 1550
By using the formula,
Gain = selling price – cost price
= Rs 1550 - Rs1240
= Rs 310
By using the formula,
Gain % = (gain/cost price) × 100
= 310/1240 × 100
= 25%
