Question

A shopkeeper purchase 24 marbles for 12 and sold marbles for 15 find the gain percent

Answer 1

As per the details provided in the question.

In the above question, we have the details as follow.

The given data is the cost price of marbles 12

The selling price of marbles is 15

We have to find the gain percent.

Thus, the gain is equal to selling price minus cost price,

$Gain=15-12=3$

So, the gain percent is,

$\%=\frac{profit}{CP}\times 100 \\=\frac{3}{12}\times 100\\=25%$

Hence the gain percent is 25%
