Answer 2

Given:

A shopkeeper bought a Curtain for Rs 990 and sold it for Rs 1890.

To find:

The gain percentage.

Solution:

The gain percentage is 90.90%.

We can find the answer by using the following steps:

As given, we have,

The cost price of a curtain = Rs. 990

The selling price of a curtain = Rs. 1890

So,

the profit earned by the shopkeeper

= Selling Price - Cost price

$= 1890 - 990$

$= 900$

Now,

The gain percentage

$= \frac{profit}{cost \: price} \times 100$

$= \frac{900}{990} \times 100$

$= \frac{1000}{11}$

$= 90.90\%$

Hence, the gain percentage is 90.90℅.
