Question

find the gain percent if an item is bought at rupees 600 for
12 and sold at rupees 124 a pair

Answer 1

Cost price of 12 items = Rs 600

Cost price of 1 item = 600 / 12 = Rs 50

Selling price of 2 items = Rs 124

Selling price of 1 item = 124 /2 = Rs 62

Gain = Selling price - Cost price

= 62 - 50

= Rs 12

Gain percent = Gain × 100 /Cost price

= 12 × 100 / 50

= 12 × 2

= 24 %

Answer 2

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER..⬇⬇




$\boxed}SOLUTION}$ ➡


Given,

Cost price of 12 items = Rs. 600

•°• Cost price of 1 item = Rs.600/12

= Rs.50


Again,

1 pair = 2 item.

So,

Selling price of 2 item = Rs.124

•°• Selling price of 1 item = Rs.124/2

= Rs.62


°•° Selling price is greater than cost price ,

Thus...There is a gain.


•°• Gain = Selling price - Cost price

= Rs.62 - Rs.50

= Rs.12



•°• Gain percent = Gain / Cost price × 100

= 12 / 50 × 100

= 24 %



$\boxed{ANSWER}$ ➡ 24 %
