Question

Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is:

Answer 1

C.P OF SCOOTER IS 4700
SPEND ON REPAIR =800
TOTAL C.P OF SCOOTER = 4700+800=5500
SP OF SCOOTER=5800
THEN GAIN =5800-5500=300
THEN GAIN % = X% OF 5500=300
                            X/100*5500=300
                          X=300*100/5500
                               =60/11
                            60/11%

Answer 2

Answer:

C.P OF SCOOTER IS 4700

SPEND ON REPAIR =800

TOTAL C.P OF SCOOTER = 4700+800=5500

SP OF SCOOTER=5800

THEN GAIN =5800-5500=300

THEN GAIN % = X% OF 5500=300

                            X/100*5500=300

                          X=300*100/5500

                               =60/11

                            60/11%
