Question

A man buys some banana at 6 for rs.5 and sell them at 5 for rs.6 .find the gain percent.

Answer 1

6.04 percentage is the gain and the approx . value is 6 %.

Answer 2

The man buys 6 bananas for Rs 5

The cost price of 6 bananas is Rs 5

Cost price of one banana is Rs 5 / 6

The man sells 5 bananas for Rs 6

The selling price of 5 bananas is Rs 6

Selling price of one banana is Rs 6 / 5

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

==> Rs 6 / 5 - Rs 5 / 6

==> Rs (36 - 25 ) / 30

==> Rs  11/ 30

Profit for 1 banana is Rs 11 / 30

Profit % = Profit /C P * 100%

==> Profit % = 11 / 30 / 5 / 6 * 100%

==> 11 / 30 * 6 / 5  *100%

==> 11 / 25 *100%

==> 11*4 %

==> 44%

The gain % is 44%

Hope it helps you
