Question

an almirah was bought for rs. 14360 and then rs. 240 on its transportation . and sold the almirah for ra. 18000. find total loss or gain percent.​

Answer 1

✬ Profit % = 23.28 % ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Cost price of almirah is Rs 14360.
• Money spent on it's transportation is Rs 240.
• Selling price of almirah is Rs 18000.

To Find:

• What is the gain or loss percent on almirah?

Solution: Since, Rs 240 is spent on transportation of almirah. Therefore,

➟ Total C.P of almirah = Price at which it was bought + Money spent of transportation

➟ Total C.P = Rs (14360 + 240) = 14600

Now, on comparing both C.P and S.P we found that

• S.P > C.P ( Hence, there is a profit )

As we know that

★ Profit = S.P – C.P ★

➬ Profit = Rs (18000 – 14600)

➬ Rs 3400

∴ Profit % = Profit/C.P $\times$ 100

$\implies{\rm }$ Profit % = 3400/14600 $\times$ 100

$\implies{\rm }$ 3400/146

$\implies{\rm }$ 23.28%

Hence, there is profit of 23.28% on almirah.

Answer 2

Answer:

23 21/73(actual) or 23.29(approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price=14360

transportation=240

total money spend by seller=14600

sell price = 18000

less gain=gain(3400)

formula of gain or loss percent:

gain or loss /cost price*100

3400/14600*100=23 21/73

:: 23 21/73 is the gain percent.
