Answer 2

$\large\huge\mathsf{SOLUTION}$
$<b>$Given

SP = Rs.5670

Gain = Rs.270

As we know

Cost price = selling price - profit/gain

Cost price = Rs.(5670 -270)

Cost price = Rs. 5400

$GAIN \: PERCENT = ( \frac{GAIN}{CP} \times 100)\% \\ \\ = (\frac{270}{5400} \times 100)\% \\ \\ = ( \frac{1}{20} \times 100)\% \\ \\ = 5\%$
