Question

a shopkeeper bought 24kg of sugar for rs1008 and sold all at rs45per kg find gain or loss per cent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price=₹1008

sell price=₹45x24

=₹1080

gain=₹72

gain%=(72x100)/1008=7.143%

Answer 2

The gain per cent is 7.14%.

Given:

Amount of sugar bought=24 kg

Buying cost=Rs.1,008

Selling price=Rs.45/ kg

To find:

The gain/ loss per cent

Solution:

We can determine the percentage of gain or loss by obtaining the buying and selling costs of sugar.

The cost of buying 24 kg sugar=Rs.1,008

The price of selling 24 kg of sugar=24×price per kg

=24×45

=Rs.1,080

Now, we see that the sugar's selling price is greater than the cost price.

So, the shopkeeper has gained.

The amount of gain=selling price-cost price

=1,080-1,008

=Rs.72

So, the gain per cent=Gain/Cost price×100

=72/1,008×100

=7,200/1,008

=7.14%

Therefore, the gain per cent is 7.14%.
