S.P. of 300 articles is equal to C.P. of 500 articles. Find the loss or profit percentage.

A $24 \frac{2}{3} %$
B $25 \frac{2}{3} %$
C $72 \frac{2}{3} %$
D $66 \frac{2}{3} %$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Given: 300 \times S.P. = 500 \times C.P. \frac{S.P.}{C.P.} = \frac{500}{300} = \frac{5}{3} Let C.P. = 3 units and S.P. = 5 units. Since S.P. > C.P., there is a profit. Profit = S.P. - C.P. = 5 - 3 = 2 units Profit % = \frac{Profit}{C.P.} \times 100 = \frac{2}{3} \times 100 = \frac{200}{3} % = 66 \frac{2}{3} %
