Question

4. Manjit bought an iron safe for ₹12160 and paid ₹340 for its transportation. Then, he sold
it for ₹12875. Find his gain per cent. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve by using,

the total cost of iron safe = purchase cost + transportation

=12160+340=12500

CP of iron safe=12500

SP of iron safe=12875

Since, SP is more than CP so it's a gain.

Gain=SP−CP=12875−12500=375

Gain%=(Gain×100)/CP

=(375×100)/12500

=3%

Answer 2

Answer:

C.P. of manjit is ₹12160

Transportation paid ₹340

Total C.P. is 12160+340 = 12500 RS.

S.P. is RS. 12875

Gain = SP-CP=12875-12500=₹375

Gain%= gain÷cp×100= 375÷12500×100= 3%

Answer: Gain% = 3%

Hope this helps you my dear...
