The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total cost price (CP), the selling price (SP) after the discount, and then find the percentage profit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the Total Cost Price (CP)**: - The cost price of the ruby stone = Rs 1600 - The cost of making the ring = Rs 2400 - Total CP = Cost of ruby stone + Cost of making the ring \[ \text{Total CP} = 1600 + 2400 = 4000 \] 2. **Calculate the Selling Price (SP) after Discount**: - The marked price (MP) of the ring = Rs 7800 - Discount = 10% of MP \[ \text{Discount} = \frac{10}{100} \times 7800 = 780 \] - Selling Price (SP) = Marked Price - Discount \[ \text{SP} = 7800 - 780 = 7020 \] 3. **Calculate the Profit**: - Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price \[ \text{Profit} = 7020 - 4000 = 3020 \] 4. **Calculate the Percentage Profit**: - Percentage Profit = \(\left(\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}\right) \times 100\) \[ \text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{3020}{4000}\right) \times 100 = 75.5\% \] ### Final Answer: The percentage profit made is **75.5%**.
