The correct answer is
5.45%

Calculating Percentage Profit on Calculators

First, determine the cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) of the calculators.

  • Cost Price (CP) = ₹550
  • Selling Price (SP) = ₹580

Calculating Profit Amount

Profit is the difference between the selling price and the cost price.

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = ₹580 - ₹550 = ₹30

Calculating Percentage Profit

The percentage profit is calculated using the formula:

$ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100 $

Substitute the values:

$ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left( \frac{30}{550} \right) \times 100 $

Simplify the fraction:

$ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left( \frac{3}{55} \right) \times 100 $

$ \text{Percentage Profit} = \frac{300}{55} $

$ \text{Percentage Profit} \approx 5.4545... \% $

Rounding to two decimal places, the approximate percentage profit is 5.45%.
