Question

a man buys a certain number of article at 15 for Rupees 112.50 and sells them at 12 for rupees 108 find his gain percent and also find the number of sold to make a profit of rupees 75​

Answer 1

Answer:

20% is the gain and the number articles to be sold =50

Step-by-step explanation:

So,CP of each article = 112.50÷15 rupees=7.50 rupees

SP of each article = 108÷12= 9 rupees

So, gain in each article = (9 - 7.50)rupees= 1.50 rupees

So, gain = (1.50÷7.50)×100%=20%

Now, to make 75 rupees gain, the number of articles required to be sold

= (75÷1.50)= 50
