Question

find the loss or gain percent if CP of 4 articles equal to SP of 5 articles

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :
The selling price of 5 articles is equal to the cost 4 articles.

Find the LCM of 5 and 4 :-

LCM of 5 and 4 = 20

Therefore,
Selling price of 5 articles = Rs 20
Selling price of 1 article = 20/5 = Rs 4

Cost Price of 4 articles = Rs 20
Cost Price of 1 article = 20/4 = Rs 5

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

Loss = C.P - S.P
= Rs (5 - 4)
= Rs 1

Loss % = (loss × 100)/C.P %
= (1 × 100)/5 %
= 100/5 %
= 20%

Hence,
Loss Percent = 20%

Question - Find the loss or gain percent if CP of 4 articles is equal to SP of 5 articles.


Solution :-


Let the CP of 4 articles = x


Therefore, SP of 5 articles = x


Explanation :-


↪ CP of 1 article = x / 4


↪ SP of 1 article = x / 5


As CP > SP , we get loss


↪ Loss = CP - SP


= x / 4 - x / 5


= 5x - 4x / 20


= x / 20 ✅✅


↪ Loss % = Loss / CP × 100


= x / 20 / x / 4 × 100


= x / 20 × 4 / x × 100


= 1 / 5 × 100


= 20 % ✔✔
