Answer 2

Given :-

• Cost Price = Rs,80
• Selling Price = Rs,95

To Find :-

• Gain Percent

Solution :-

⇒ Gain = Selling Price - Cost Price

⇒ Gain = 95 - 80

⇒ Gain = Rs,15

________________

⇒ Gain % = Gain / Cost Price × 100

⇒ Gain % = 15 / 80 × 100

⇒ Gain % = 15 / 8 × 10

⇒ Gain % = 15 / 4 × 5

⇒ Gain % = 75 / 4

⇒ Gain % = 18.75%

Therefore, Gain % is 18.75%
