A Person 'A' Bought A Cycle For RS 2000 And Sold It For RS 2500, Whereas Person 'B' Bought It For RS 4000 And Sold It For RS 4500. Who Made More Profit?
Given: A Person 'A' Bought A Cycle For RS 2000 And Sold It For RS 2500
Person 'B' Bought It For RS 4000 And Sold It For RS 4500
To do: Find who made more profit.
Solution:
A
Cost price, CP of cycle = Rs 2000; Selling price, SP of cycle = Rs 2500
Profit = SP $-$ CP = 2500 $-$ 2000 = Rs 500
B
Cost price, CP of cycle = Rs 4000; Selling price, SP of cycle = Rs 4500
Profit = SP $-$ CP = 4500 $-$ 4000 = Rs 500
Both A and B made the same profit. None made more profit than the other.
