Step-by-step explanation:

when selling price is less than buying price it is a profit so let's add 12+15 = 18 18into 100

Answer 2

Answer:

20% is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C.P. of 1 article  =Rs x

Then, C.P. of 15 articles =Rs 15x

Given, S.P of 12 articles = C.P. of 15 articles

So, S.P. of 12 articles= 15x

Since, S.P.>C.P., for 12 articles there is a gain

So, Gain % = (S.P.−C.P/S.P.)×100 = (15x - 12x)/12x ×100 = 3/15 ×100 = 20%

∴ Gain Percentage = 20%
