Arindam bought an article for Rs. 1330 and sold it for Rs. 1520. Find the profit%.
A0.1428
B0.1666
C0.1625
D0.125

correct answer is: option a : 0.1428
Explanation: To find the profit percentage, we first need to calculate the profit amount, which is the selling price minus the cost price. Then, we divide the profit by the cost price and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

= Rs. 1520 - Rs. 1330

= Rs. 190. Profit %

= (Profit / Cost Price) * 100

= (190 / 1330) * 100

≈ 14.28%.

Therefore the profit percentage is approximately 14.28%. This can be expressed as 0.1428 in decimal terms
