A shopkeeper sold an article for Rs. 2090.42. Approximately, what will be the percentage profit if he sold that article for Rs. 2602.58 ?


A) 15%

B) 20%

C) 25%

D) 30%

E) 40%

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Profit = Rs. $(2602.58-2090.42)$ = Rs.$512.16$.

Profit% $=\left(\frac{512.16}{2090.42}\times 100\right)$%

$=\left(\frac{512160}{209042}\times 10\right)$%

$=24.5$% $\approx25$%
