Reeta buys 90 kg of potatoes and sells them at a profit equal to the cost price of 40 kg of potatoes. Find her profit percentage.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., %.
Let cost price of 1 kg = ₹1 (assume for calculation)
Cost price of 90 kg = 90 × 1 = 90
Profit = Cost price of 40 kg = 40 × 1 = 40
Profit% = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100 = (40 ÷ 90) × 100 ≈ 44.44%
