Question

Find gain or loss % (i) C.P = ₹ 5200 and S.P = ₹ 6000. (ii) C.P = ₹ 52 and S.P = ₹ 40

Answer 1

Solutions :-

(i) Given :
C.P = ₹ 5200
S.P = ₹ 6000

Selling price is greater than the Cost price. Therefore, Gain.

Gain = S.P - C.P
= ₹ (6000 - 5200)
= ₹ 800

Gain % = (gain × 100)/C.P %
= (800 × 100)/5200 %
= 80000/5200
= 15.38 % approx.

Hence,
Gain Percent = 15.38 %


(ii) Given :
C.P = ₹ 52
S.P = ₹ 40

Cost Price is greater than the Selling price. Therefore, Loss.

Loss = C.P - S.P
= ₹ (52 - 40)
= ₹ 8

Loss % = (loss × 100)/C.P %
= (8 × 100)/52 %
= 800/52%
= 15.38% approx.

Hence,
Loss percent = 15.38%

Answer 2

To Find :

Gain or Loss percentage .

Case (i) :

(i) Given :
C.P = ₹ 5200
S.P = ₹ 6000

Selling price is greater than the Cost price.
So , it is gain.

Gain =

S.P - C.P
= ₹ (6000 - 5200)
= ₹ 800

Gain % =

(gain × 100)/C.P %
= (800 × 100)/5200 %
= 80000/5200
= 15.38 % approx.


Gain Percent = 15.38 %

Case (ii) :

(ii) Given :
C.P = ₹ 52
S.P = ₹ 40

Cost Price is greater than the Selling price. So , loss is here .

Loss = C.P - S.P
= ₹ (52 - 40)
= ₹ 8

Loss % =

(loss × 100)/C.P %
= (8 × 100)/52 %
= 800/52%

= 15.38% approximately

Loss percent = 15.38%
