Answer:
The s.p = 55.2 and the profit = 7.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost price (c•p)=48
Profit%= 15%.
Now, to find the profit and selling price (s.p):
By putting the formula we get the profit:
[tex]Profit\%=\frac{profit}{c.p} \times 100[/tex]
[tex]15=\frac{Profit}{48} \times 100[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 48 we get:
[tex]720=Profit\times 100[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 100 we get:
[tex]7.2=Profit[/tex]
Profit = 7.2.
Now, to get the s.p we put formula:
[tex]S.p=c.p+profit[/tex]
[tex]S.p=48+7.2[/tex]
[tex]S.p=55.2[/tex]
Selling price = 55.2.
Therefore, the s.p = 55.2 and the profit = 7.2.
