Question

A man buys lemons at 6 for ₹10 and sells at 8 for ₹15. Find the gain percent

Answer 1

hey Friend u should solve it yourself but still I will give you one example

Answer 2

Given that he buys lemons at 6 for 10.

Then the cost price of 1 lemon = 10/6 = 1.6

Given that he sells at 8 for 15.

Then the selling price of 1 lemon = 15/8 = 1.8

We know that Gain = Selling price - cost price

                                 = 1.8 - 1.6

                                 = 0.2.


We know that Gain% = Gain * 100/CP

                                    = (0.2 * 100)/ 1.6

                                    = 12.5%.


Therefore the gain % = 12.5.


Hope this helps!
