According to the question,
108% of x – 105% of x = 240
=>; 108x/100 – 105x/100 = 240
=>; 3x/100 = 240

=>; x = 24000/3 = Rs.8000
2. If 3 articles are sold for the cost of 5 articles, then the profit percentage is?

a) 61% b) 63 2/3% c) 65% d) 66 2/3%

3. A dealer sold a bicycle at a profit of 10%. Had he bought the bicycle at 10% less price and sold it at a price Rs.60 more, he would have gained 25%. The cost price of the bicycle was?

Ans: c
Solution:
C.P. of cycle = Rs. x (let)

S.P. = 110x/100 = Rs 11x/100

Case II,

New C.P. = Rs. 9x/10

11x/10 60 =9x/10 x 125/100

= Rs 9x/8
=>; 9x/8 -11x/10 = 60

=>; 90x-88x/80 = 60
=>; 2x/80 = 60
=>; x/40 = 60

x = 60 x 40
= Rs.2400

4. Aarav buys one kilogram of apples for Rs.120 and sells it to Swetha gaining 25%. Swetha sells it to Dharani who again sells it for Rs.198, making a profit of 10%. What is the profit percentage made by Swetha?

C.P. for Swetha.
= Rs. (120 x 125/100) = Rs.150

C.P. for Darani
= Rs. (100/110 x 198)

= Rs. 180
S.P. for Swetha = Rs. 180

Profit percent

= 20%

= 250/3 = Rs 83.33
6. A shopkeeper buys 80 articles for Rs.2,400 and sells them for a profit of 16%. Find the selling price of one article.
a) Rs.35.80 b) Rs.31.80 c) Rs.34.80 d) Rs.32.80
