Question

a lady bought 50 sweets at 20 paise each.In her house 10 sweets were consumed .she sold the remainning sweet at 40 paise each .what was her gain aor loss per cent?

Answer 1

C.P. for lady on sweets = 50×20=1000 paise
S.P. for lady on sweets
= (50-10)×40 = 40×40 = 1600paise

S.P. > C.P. , therefore, gain

gain % = {(S.P.-C.P.)×100}/C.P.

= {(1600-1000)×100}/1600

= (600×100)/1600

= 60000/1600

= 37.5%

therefore, the gain% is 37.5%.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 sweet = 20 paise

50 sweet = 20 x 50 = 1000 paise

sweets consumed = 10

sweets not consumed = 50 - 10

                                           40 sweets

s.p of 1 sweet = 40 paise

s.p of 40 sweet = 40x 40

                            1600 paise .

she got for 1000 and sold for 1600 .

so, it is a profit

profit = sp-cp

         1600-1000

           600 paise

profit percent = profit/cp x 100

                          600/1000 x 100%

                           60%

so, she got 60% profit
