Question

an article is brought for rs 4800 and spend rs 1200 on transportation if a article is sold for 5820 rs then find its loss or gain percentage ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

=3 ℅

Step-by-step explanation:

total expenditure= cp + transportation

= Rs 4800+Rs1200= Rs 6000

selling price = 5820

loss = SP - CP

= Rs 6000- Rs 5820

= Rs 180

loss℅= (loss/total expenditure) X 100℅

= ( 180/6000) X 100℅

=3 ℅

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

bought for = RS 4800

transportation charges =1200

therefore cp =4800+1200

=6000

sp=5820

it's a profit ,so

profit =cp-sp

= 6000-5820

=180 RS

profit %=100×profit ÷cp

=100×180÷6000

= 3%
