Answer 1

Answer:

★ Gain % = 20% ★

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Selling price of an article is Rs 1080
• Profit made is Rs 180

To Find:

• What is gain or profit percent?

Solution:

★ Cost Price = Selling Price – Profit ★

$\small\implies{\sf }$ C.P = (1080 – 180)

$\small\implies{\sf }$ C.P = Rs 900

Hence, Cost price of article was Rs 900

• To find gain percent we use formula:-

★ Profit% = Profit/ C.P x 100 ★

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Profit% = 180/900 x 100

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Profit% = 18000/900 = 20%

Hence, His gain% was 20%
