if the cost price of 22 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles , what is the percentage of profit or loss that the merchant makes ?
"explanation : let cost price of 1 article be re . 1 . therefore , cost price of 22 articles = rs . 22 . selling price of 16 articles = rs . 22 therefore , selling price of 22 articles is : - = > 22 / 16 ã — 22 = > 30.25 . therefore , profit = selling price - cost price . = > 30.25 â ˆ ’ 22 = 8.25 hence , the percentage of profit = profit x 100 / c . p . = > 8.25 / 22 ã — 100 . = > 37.5 % profit . answer : b"
multiply(const_100, divide(subtract(const_100, divide(multiply(const_100, 16), 22)), divide(multiply(const_100, 16), 22)))
