Question

As article is sold at a certain price by selling it or 2/3of that price one losses 10% find the gain percent of original price

Answer 1

$\red{\textbf{gain percentage=35}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: cost \: price \: = Rs100$

$loss \: = 10$

$then \: selling \: price = 100 - 10$

$= Rs.90$

$s.p \: is \: \Large \frac{2}{3} \small of \: the \: original \: price$

$original \: price \: = 90 \times \Large \frac{3}{2}$

$=Rs.135$

$profit = 135 - 100$

$= Rs.35$

$gain \: percentage \: = \Large \frac{35}{100} \times \small 100$

$= 35$
