Answer 1

Answer:

Gain Percentage

on sales price 37.5  on sales price

on cost price 60 on cost price

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price =X

Cost Price = Y

Cost Price of 24 articles = 24 Y

Selling Price of 15 articles = 15 X

24  Y= 15 X

Y/X=15/24

Y=15/24 X=0.625 X

if cost price assumed as Rs 100 Y = 100

100 = 0.625 X

X= 100/0.625= Rs 160

Selling Price = Rs 160

Cost Price = Rs 100

Gain = Rs 60

Gain Percentage

on sales price = 60/160= 37.5 on sales price

on cost price = 60/100 = 60 on cost price
