Question

A woman bought a cup
of beans for 12 and sold it
for ₦15. What was her
percentage profit​

Answer 1

Answer:

25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost price ( CP ) = 12

Selling price ( SP ) = 15

Since, CP < SP , she made a profit

Actual profit = SP - CP

plug the values

$= 15 - 12$

Subtract the numbers

$= 3$

Profit = 3

Now,

Profit percent = $\frac{actual \: profit}{cost \: price} \times 100$ %

Plug the values

$= \frac{3}{12} \times 100$ %

Calculate

$= 25$ %

Hope this helps...

Best regards!!

Answer 2

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price: ₦12

Selling Price: ₦15

Profit: ₦15 - ₦12 = ₦3

Profit Percentage = $\frac{profit}{cost price}$  ×  $\frac{100}{1}$

Profit Percentage = $\frac{3}{12}$ × $\frac{100}{1}$

Profit Percentage = $\frac{1}{4}$ × $\frac{100}{1}$ = 25%

Final Answer = 25%
