Given:

  • Cost price of watch is Rs 135.
  • Overhead expenses on watch is Rs 5.
  • Selling Price of watch is Rs 154.

 

Solution: Total cost price of watch = (Original price + Overhead expense )

 

➟ Total C.P of watch = Rs (135 + 5) = Rs 140

 

And, The S.P of watch is Rs 154.

 

On Comparing both S.P and C.P we get

 

 S.P > C.P { Hence, There is Profit }

 

 Profit = Selling Price  Cost Price 

 

 Profit = Rs (154  140)

 

 Profit = Rs 14

 

Now, we have to find the profit percent :

 

 Profit % = (Profit/C.P x 100) % 

 

 Profit % = ( 14/140 x 100)%

 

 Profit % = ( 1400/140 ) %

 

 Profit % = 10 %

 

Hence, The the profit percent made by retailer is 10%.
