Answer 2

Correct Question :-

If an article sold for ₹100 then there is a gain of ₹20 then what will be its gain percent ?

Solution :-

Given :-

Selling Price of an article = ₹ 100

Gain = ₹ 20

To Find :-

• Gain Percent of the article

As we know,

Gain % = $\sf\dfrac{Gain}{C.P.}$$\sf{{\times 100}}$

So firstly let us find the Cost Price:-

C.P. = S.P. - Gain

= ₹ 100 - ₹ 20

= ₹ 80

Now let us find the Gain Percent

$\sf{{Gain}}$%$=\sf\dfrac{20}{80}$$\sf{{\times 100}}$

$= \sf{{5\times 5}}$

$= \sf{{25}}$%

✯ Required Answer ✯

Gain % = 25 %

Some More Formulas :-

• Gain = S.P. - C.P.

• Loss = C.P. - S.P.

• Gain % = ${\sf\dfrac{Gain}{C.P.}}$ $\sf{{\times 100}}$

• Loss % = ${\sf\dfrac{Loss}{C.P.}}$ $\sf{{\times 100}}$
