A book was purchased for ₹1,020 and sold for ₹1,224. Find the profit percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 20%.

Cost Price (CP) = 1020

Selling Price (SP) = 1224

Profit = SP − CP = 1224 − 1020 = 204

Profit % = (Profit ÷ CP) × 100 = (204 ÷ 1020) × 100 = 20%
