15/100×100=15.Rs gain

actual price =100-15

Answer 2

Gain percentage is 17.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Selling Price of Article (S.P) = Rs. 100/-

And the Gain (G) = Rs. 15/-

Let us Assume Cost Price of Article as Rs. CP/-

We know that,

Selling Price = Cost Price + Gain

⇒ 100 = CP + 15

⇒ C.P = 100 - 15 = 85

Hence, Cost Price of Article (CP) = Rs. 85 /-

Now, Gain Percentage (G%) = $\frac{Profit}{Cost Price}\times 100$

Here, Gain (G) = Rs.15/- and Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 85/-

So, Gain Percentage (G%) = $\frac{15}{85}\times 100$

Gain Percentage (G%) = 17.6% So, Gain percentage is 17.6%
