present would he gain or lose by
Selling
it for
RS 4825 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

4.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Man pays 100% and loses 9% then 4550 represents 91% of the cost of the article.

Let the price of the article =

$x$

Then,

$0.9x = 4550$

$x = 4550 \div 0.9 \times 100 = 5055.56$

Therefore, He paid 5055.56

If he gets 4825 for the article

Then,

$4825 \div 5055.56 = 0.954$

Hence,

$= 0.954 - 1 = - 0.0460 \:$

or 4.6%
