Answer 2

Given :

Cost price of a computer set : ₹16800

Rupees spent on it's repairs : ₹1200

Selling price of computer set : ₹19200

To find :

The gain percentage of the computer set.

Solution :

First, we should find the overall cost price of the computer set.

Total cost price of the set :

$\sf \dashrightarrow 16800 + 1200$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Rs.18000$

Now, we should find the profit rupees of the set.

Profit obtained to the set :

$\sf \dashrightarrow Selling \: price - Cost \: price$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 19200 - 18000$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Rs.1200$

Now, we can find the profit percent.

Profit percent of the set :

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{Profit \: rupees}{Cost \: price} \times 100$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{1200}{18000} \times 100$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{1}{15} \times 100$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{1 \times 100}{15} = \dfrac{100}{15}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{100}{15} = 6.66$

Hence, the profit percentage obtained to the computer set is 6.66%.
