D. 13.76% |
ratio of the percentage profit is 7 : 14 : 8
8 = 1/7 ( 14.28%)
7 = 1/8
14 = 1/4
The CP of the chair = 400, Its SP = 400 x 9/8 = 450
The ratio of SP = 9 : 5 : 8
9 = 450
5 = 250
8 = 400
Total SP = 1100
CP of desk = 250 x 4/5 = 200
CP of table = 400 x 7/8 = 350
Total CP = 400 + 200 + 350 = 950
Profit = 1100 - 950 = 150
Profit % = 150/950 x 100 = 15.789% = 15.79%
