Question

An article is bought for rs.675 and sold for rs.900 find the gain percent

Answer 1

Cost price— rs 675
Sale price—-rs 900
Gain— 900-675=225

Gain%= 225/675*100
=33.33%

Answer 2

Answer:  The gain percent is $33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of article = Rs. 675

SP of article = Rs. 900

SP> CP ∴ Gain

Gain = SP - CP =900- 675= Rs. 225

As we know

Gain percent =

$\dfrac{Gain}{CP} \times 100 = \dfrac{225}{675} \times 100= \dfrac{1}{3} \times 100= 33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$

Hence, the gain percent is $33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$
