∴ It is profit.
Total profit = S.P – C.P
= 325 – 250 = Rs 75
b) A refrigerator bought for ₹ 12,000 and sold at ₹ 13,500.
Solution:
C. P = Rs. 12,000
S.P = Rs. 13,500
S.P > C.P
It is profit
Total profit = S. P – C. P
= 13,500 – 12,000
= Rs.1,500/-
c) A cupboard bought for ₹ 2,500 and sold at ₹ 3,000.
Solution:
C.P = Rs. 2,500
