Answer 1

Answer:

22.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1000*9/10*87/100=783

cost price =783+35=815

profit %=(1000-815)/815=185/815*100≈22.7

Answer 2

The gain % is 22.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Marked price = Rs. 1000

Successive discounts = 10% and 13%

So, Single discount would be

$10+13-\dfrac{10\times 13}{100}\\\\=23-1.3\\\\=21.7$

So, Amount of discount would be

$\dfrac{21.7}{100}\times 1000\\\\ =Rs.\ 217$

so, Amount after discount would be

$1000-217=Rs.\ 783$

Amount spent on packaging = Rs. 35

So, cost price = 783 +35 =Rs. 818

Selling price = Rs. 1000

Profit = SP - CP = 1000 - 818 =Rs.182

So, Profit % would be

$\dfrac{182}{818}\times 100\\\\=22.25\%$

Hence, the gain % is 22.25%.
