Answer 1

Hey there!

Let the cost price be "x"
∴ Gain = (1/4)x
Then gain percentage = [{(1/4)x}/x] ×100 = (1/4)×100 =25
So, the gain percentage = 25%

Answer 2

Q1) If fan is sold for rupees 650.The gain is one fourth of the cost price of the fan.Find the gain percent.

S1) As we've told , Selling price of fan = 650

Gain earned = 1/4 of selling price

= 1/4 × 650

= 162.5

So, if gain is 162.5 , Then gain% →

Gain/Cost price × 100%

= 162.5/650×100%

= 25%

Answer→ The gain is 25%
