Answer 1

HEY DEAR HERE IS YOUR ANSWER ✌✌❤❤

Let the Cost of 10 articles be x
Cost of 10 article =x
Cost of one article =x/10
Sp of 8 article =x [given]
Sp of 1 article =x/8
SP > CP
Since there is a gain,
Gain=x/8-x/10
Gain=x/40
Gain%=x/40/x/10×100
=25%gain

Answer 2

Let the C.P. of one article = ₹ 1
C.P. of 8 articles = ₹8
S.P. of 8 articles = C.P. of 10 articles ( given)
S.P. of 8 articles = ₹ 10
S.P. > C.P.
Gain= S.P. - C.P.
= 10-8= ₹ 2
Gain%= (Gain/C.P.)×100
= (2/8)×100
=25%
