Question

13. By selling 33 meters of cloth, one gains the selling price of 11 meters. Find the gain percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(SP of 33m)-(CP of 33m)=Gain=SP of 11m

SP of 22m = CP of 33m

Let CP of each metre be Re.1

Then, CP of 22m= Rs.22

SP of 22m=Rs.33.

Profit=33−22=11Rs.

Profit %=11/22×100=50%

Answer 2

Answer:

• The gain percent is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• By selling 33 meters of cloth, one gains the selling price of 11 meters.

To Find:

• The gain percent.

Let us assume:

• Selling price of 33 meters cloth = Rs 33x

By unitary method.

Selling price of 1 meter cloth = Rs 33x/33 = Rs x

Selling price of 11 meters cloth = Rs (x × 11) = Rs 11x

Now we have:

• Selling price = Rs 33x
• Gain = Rs 11x

First finding the cost price:

We know that.

When selling price and gain is given then,

Cost price = Selling price - Gain

⟶ Cost price = Rs 33x - 11x

⟶ Cost price = Rs 22x

Finding the gain percent:

We know that.

Gain % = (100 × Gain)/(Cost price) %

⇒ Gain % = (100 × 11x)/(22x) %

⇒ Gain % = 1100x/22x %

⇒ Gain % = 50 %

∴ Gain percent = 50%
