Profit Percentage Solution:

  1. Let Selling Price (SP) = ₹ 100
  2. Given Cost Price (CP) = 96% of SP = ₹ 96
  3. Absolute Profit: SP - CP = 100 - 96 = ₹ 4
  4. Profit Percentage:
    Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100 = (4 / 96) × 100 = 100 / 24 = 4.167% (or 4 1/6 %)

Answer: The profit percentage is 4.167%.

हिंदी में प्रश्न एवं आदर्श उत्तर

यदि खरीदी मूल्य बिक्री मूल्य का 96% है, तब लाभ प्रतिशत कितना होगा ?

हल:

  1. माना बिक्री मूल्य (SP) = ₹ 100
  2. तब क्रय मूल्य (CP) = SP का 96% = ₹ 96
  3. लाभ = SP - CP = 100 - 96 = ₹ 4
  4. लाभ प्रतिशत = (लाभ / CP) × 100
    = (4 / 96) × 100 = (1 / 24) × 100 = 25 / 6 % = 4.167% (या 4 1/6 %)

उत्तर: लाभ प्रतिशत 4.167% (या 4 1/6%) है।
