Question

A fan is sold for Rs–800.The gain is one fifth of the cost price of the fan. Find the gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S.p = 800

Gain = 1/5 of 800

gain = 160

To find Gain%

Gain% = (profit/C.p)*100

Cp = ?

we know

Profit = sp- cp

so

800-cp=160

-cp =160-800

-cp = -640

C.P =640

Gain%= ( profit/C.P)*100

gain%= (160/640)*100

gain%= (1/4)*100

gain%=25%
