Question

By selling an article for Rs 1683 a man loses 1/9 of his selling price if he sells it for 2244 what will be gain percent

Answer 1

His gain percentage is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of an article = Rs. 1683

Loss = $\dfrac{1}{9}$ of his selling price

Loss amount would be

$\dfrac{1}{9}\times 1683\\\\=Rs.\ 187$

Cost price would be

$SP+loss\\\\=1683+187\\\\=Rs.\ 1870$

So, if the selling price = Rs. 2244

Then gain would be

$Profit=SP-CP\\\\Profit=2244-1870\\\\Profit=Rs.\ 374$

So, Gain percentage would be

$\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{374}{1870}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{37400}{1870}\\\\=20\%$

Hence, his gain percentage is 20%.
