Question

If the selling price of a T.v is the equal to 6/5 of its cost price , find the gain percent.​

Answer 1

❍Let's consider Cost Price be x and Selling Price be $\dfrac{6x}{5}$ of a television.

According to the question:

• As per given in the question,Selling Price of a television is $\dfrac{6}{5}$ of its Cost Price.

Therefore,

We are said to find Gain percent but for finding gain percent firstly we have to find Gain.So let's find!

Using Formula :

$\: \: \sf \: gain = selling \: price - cost \: price$

we have,

• Selling Price = $\dfrac{6x}{5}$
• Cost Price = x

where....

• SP = Selling Price
• CP = Cost Price

Now substitute numbers

$\: \: \sf \: gain = \frac{6}{5} x - x \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: gain = \frac{x}{5} rupees$

$\therefore$Henceforth,Gain on a television is $\dfrac{x}{5}$rupees.

• As per given in the question,After getting the value of gain now find gain percent.

Using formula

$\: \sf \: gain \: percent = \frac{gain}{cp} \times 100$

Now substitute the values

$\: \: \sf \: gain \: percent = \frac{ \frac{ \cancel x}{5} }{ \cancel x} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: = 20 \: percent \:$

$\therefore$Hence,Gain percent is 20%.
