Question

by selling 8 articles , a shopkeeper gains the selling price of 3 articles .find his gain percentage​

Answer 1

The gain percentage would be 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

on selling 8 articles he gains the selling price of 3 articles.

so, Mathematically it is expressed as

$8SP=8CP+3SP\\\\8SP-3SP=8CP\\\\5SP=8CP\\\\\dfrac{SP}{CP}=\dfrac{8}{5}$

So, SP> CP, so there will be profit.

so, profit % would be

$\dfrac{8x-5x}{5x}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{3}{5}\times 100\\\\=3\times 20\\\\=60\%$

Hence, the gain percentage would be 60%.
