Answer 2

The gain percent of Akash is 40%

Solution:

Given that,

Akash purchased 300 pens at the rate of 6 per pen

Thus cost price of 300 pens = 300 x 6 = 1800

Now he sold 60% of pen at rate of 8 per pen

60% of pen = $\frac{60}{100} \times 300 = 180$

So he sold 180 pens at rate of 8 per pen

Selling price of 180 pens = 180 x 8 = 1440

He sold remaining pens at rate of 9 per pen

Remaining pens = 300 - 180 = 120

Selling price of 120 pens = 120 x 9 = 1080

Total selling price = 1440 + 1080 = 2520

Now, cost price < selling price which indicates gain

Gain = Selling price - cost price

Gain = 2520 - 1800 = 720

Calculating gain percent:

$\text {gain percent }=\frac{\text {gain}}{\text {cost price}} \times 100\\\\\text{gain percent} = \frac{720}{1800} \times 100 = 40 \%$

Hence akash gain percent is 40%
