Question

if the cost price of 6 toffees is equal to the selling price of 4 toffees. Find the gain percent
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 toffee be x

=> CP = 6x

=> SP = 4x

=> profit = 6x - 4x = 2x

=> profit % = 2x / 6x × 100 = 100/3% = 33.33 %

Answer 2

Here, let the cost price of each toffee be Re,1

Then CP of 4 toffees = Rs.4 and

Sp of 4 toffees = Cp of 6 toffees = Rs.6

Thus, CP = Rs.4 and SP = Rs.6

We have,

Gain = SP-CP

=Rs.(6-4)

=Rs.2

Again,

Gain Percentage = Gain/CP×100%

=2/4×100%

=50%
