Question

if cost of 18 mangoes is the same as the selling price of 16 mangoes find the gain percent

Answer 1

let the cost price of each mango be x
Then
C. P. of 18 mangoes = 18 x
S. P. of 16 mangoes = 18 x
Now
C.P. of 16 mangoes =16 x
Gain =S.P -C.P
Gain =18x -16x
Gain =2x
Gain % =[(gain /C.P) ×100]%
=[(2x/16x)×100]%
=[1/8×100]%
Gain %=12.5%
