Question

If the cost price of 18 mangoes is the same as the selling price of 16 mangoes. Find the gain%​

Answer 1

Hello dear!!

Solution:

Let cost price of each mango be Re 1.

Then,

C.P of 16 mangoes = RS 16

S.P of 16 mangoes = RS 18

Gain = S.P - C.P

Gain = Rs18 - Rs16 = Rs2

Gain%

$(\frac{gain}{cp}) \times 100\%$

$( \frac{2}{16} ) \times 100\%$

$12.5\%$

Hence, Gain = 12.5%

Hope this helps
