Question

if the cost price of 10 articles is equal to the selling price of 8 particles, fing gain or loss %

Answer 1

Answer:

If 8 articles were sold at the cost price of 10 articles, find gain or loss percent. Hence, D. clearly from 1 we have S.P. for 10 items will be more than C.P for 10 items hence there will be gain

Answer 2

Given

• CP of 10 articles = SP of 8 particles

To find

• Gain or Loss percent

Solution

☯ Let the cost price of each article be ₹ x

➔ According to the question,

• CP of 8 particles = ₹ 8x
• SP of 8 particles = CP of 10 particles = ₹ 10x

☯ Since, SP > CP, 10x > 8x, there is a gain

• Gain = SP - CP
• Gain = 10x - 8x
• Gain =  2x
• Gain % = Gain/CP × 100
• Gain % = 2x/8x × 100
• Gain % = ²⁄₈ × 100
• Gain % = 25

☯ ∴ There is a Gain of 25 %
