Answer 1

QUESTION:-

By selling an article for 176 a man loses 1/5th of its cost price. If it is sold for 250, what is gain or loss per cent? ​

GIVEN:-

• selling price = 176
• cost price = x

TO FIND:-

• Gain and lose percent

ANSWER:-

loss percent =$\frac{1}{5} x\x-176= \frac{x}{5}$

 $5x-880=x\\5x-x=880\\4x=880$

x = =220

So, the cost price is 220

Selling price =250

so , the Gain percent =$250 - 220 = 30$

Percent of gain= $\frac{30x100}{220} = \frac{300}{22}$

$\frac{150}{11} = 13 \frac{7}{11} %$
