Answer 2

Answer:

416.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = 2500

Gain percent = 20%

that means

selling price = cost price + Gain

Let Cost price be x

then ,

2500 = x + 20%(x)

=>2500 = x+ 0.2x

=> 2500 = 1.2x

=> 2500/1.2 = x

=> 2083.33 =x (i.e. Cost price )

therefore

selling price = cost price + Gain

2500 = 2083.33 + gain

2500 - 2083.33 = gain

416.67 = gain
