Question

A trader purchased 200 bulbs for Rs. 10 each . However 5 bulbs were fused and put them into scrap. The

remaining were sold at Rs.12 each Find the gain (or) loss percent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

200 bulbs were purchased for RS 10 each .

so,

total C.P= 200×10=2000 Rupees

5 bulbs being fused, trader will sell 200-5=195 bulbs for RS 12 each.

so,

total S.P. = 195×12=2340 rupees

total gain = 2340-2000=340 rupees

gain percentage=340/2000×100=17 %
