Question

8. If the cost price of 4 toffees be equal to the selling price of 3 toffees, then the gain% is ?​

Answer 1

Heya mate !!! Here is the solution of your question :-

Solution :-

Let the CP of 1 toffee be Rs. 1

Then, CP of 4 toffees = (4×1) = Rs. 4

Given ,

CP of 4 toffees= SP of 3 toffees

Then, SP of 3 toffees = Rs. 4

SP of 1 toffee = 4/3

Gain = SP - CP

=> 4/3-1

=> 1/3

Gain% = ( Gain / CP × 100 ) %

=> 1/3 ÷ 1 × 100

=> 1/3×1/1 × 100

=> 1/3 × 100

=> 100/3

=> 33.33

Hence the gain% is 33.33%

Answer 2

Let the CP of 1 toffee be Rs 1 .

Then , CP of 4 toffees = 4

Given,

CP of 4 toffees = SP of 3 toffees

Then, SP of 3 toffees = Rs.4

SP of 1 toffee = 4/3

Profit = 4/3 - 1

=> 1/3

profit% = (1/3 ÷ 1 × 100)%

=> (100/3 )%

Answer => 33⅓%
