Answer 1

Answer:

the persent age is 23.33333 he gained

Answer 2

Let the CP of the article be ₹x.

On selling the article at ₹2700,

loss = ₹(x-2700)

loss% = 10

loss/CP *100 = 10

(x-2700) / x = 1/10

10x-27000 = x

9x = 27000

x = 3000

CP of the article = ₹3000

Now, New SP = ₹3600, CP = ₹3000

gain = ₹(3600-3000) = ₹600

gain% = gain/CP * 100 = 600/3000 * 100 = 20%
