Question

by selling a stool for rupees 67.50 a carpenter loses 10%. how much percent would he gain or lose by selling it for rupees 82.50​

Answer 1

Answer:

10% gain

Gain = Rs 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

SP=67.50

Loss=10%

CP=

$\frac{sp \times 100}{100 - loss\%}$

Then, 67.5 × 100 / 100-10

=> 6750/90

=> 75

Therefore, CP= Rs 75

According to question,

Desired SP= Rs 82.50

Since SP>CP, there is a gain.

Gain= SP-CP

=> 82.5-75

=> Rs 7.5

Gain %=

$\frac{gain}{cp} \: \times 100$

=> 7.5/75×100

=> 0.1×100

=> 10%
