Akram sold a plot at Rs. 60,000 and the cost of the plot was Rs. 57,000 then the profit he earned?
Answer: 5.26%
Explanation
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
= 60,000 - 57,000
= 3,000
To find the profit percentage, divide the profit by the cost price and multiply by 100:
Profit Percentage = (Profit ÷ Cost Price) × 100
= (3,000 ÷ 57,000) × 100
= 5.26%
