Question

A shoopkeeper bought a chair for $375 and sold it for $400 find the gain percentage

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

gain% = gain/ cost price × 100

cost price = sp-cp

= 400-375= 25

so gain% = 25×100/375

= 2500/375

= 6.66%

Answer 2

$\huge \sf Given :$

CP of chair = $ 375

SP of chair = $ 400

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\huge \sf To \: Find :$

Gain Percent

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\huge \sf Solution :$

To find Gain percentage, we have to find Gain.

We know that,

Gain = SP - CP

$\sf :\implies Gain=400-375$

$\sf :\implies Gain= \ \: 25$

Now for Gain percentage, we have :

$\sf{Gain\:Percentage =\dfrac{Gain}{CP} \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage =\dfrac{25}{375} \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 0.066... \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 6.666...}$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 6.7 \% \: (approx.)}$

$\sf \color{fuchsia} \therefore \: Gain \: percentage = 6.7 \% \: (approx.)$
