Answer / keyrthy
i think:
as given
selling price is: Rs.76
for which profit: 52%
now,
let original cost of the article be 'x'
as per given data: x+(52x/100)=76
i.e (100x+52.x)=7600
152x = 7600
x = 50
so the original cost is Rs.50
now, let the unknown % profit be 'y'
the 2nd selling price is:Rs.75
i.e 50+(50.y/100)=75
(50.y/100)=25
(50.y)=2500
y =(2500/50)
y =50
As per our assumption the percent of profit is y which is 50 therefore if the article is sold for 75 rupees it means that 50% profit is obtained.
pls xcuse me if the answer is wrong as i am a student doing my 2nd B.Tech now.
Thank you

Answer / sheik
s.p=76
pro=52
c.p=s.p * 100/(100+pro%) this is formula to find c.p
c.p=76 * 100 /(100+52)
c.p =50 cost price of article
now
s.p = 75
c.p = 50
then wat pro %
c.p * (100+pro) /100 =s.p
substitute values
50 * (100 + pro ) /100 = 75
100+pro = 75 *100 /50
100 +pro =150
pro = 150 - 100
pro = 50 %
ans is 50%

cost of the article=Rs 76
profit of =52%
52/100*76=Rs 39.52
actual cost of the article is Rs 76-39.52=36.48
now,if it sold for =Rs 75
profit=Rs 75-36.48=Rs 38.52
38.52/75*100=51.36 %
