Answer 2

To find: gain or loss percent

Given : cost price ( C.P ) $=R s .7500$

            selling price ( S.P ) $= Rs. 8750$.

We know that, when ( S.P ) > ( C.P) then it is a gain.

        Gain = ( S.P ) - ( C.P )

                 $&=R s .8750-R s .7500$

                 $&=R s .1250$

Then, to find gain percent we have following formula -

$Gain \% = (\frac{Gain}{C.P} \times100)\%$

           $= (\frac{1250}{7500} \times100)\%$

           $&=16.66 \%$

$\end{aligned}$Hence, trader had gain of $16.66\%$ .
