Question

if the selling price of articles is 4/3 of its cost price find the gain per cent

Answer 1

Let the cp be x

A/q Selling Price = (4/3) × Cost Price = (4/3) × x = (4x/3)

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = (4x/3) - x = x/3
Profit% = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 = [(x/3)/x] × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

hope it helps to you.

Answer 2

Greetings..!!

Let the Cost Price(C.P) of the article be Rs x .

Then, according to the question,

Selling Price(S.P) = Rs 4x/3.

So , gain = S.P - C.P

⇒4x/3 - x

⇒x/3

∴ Gain Percent = (Gain/C.P) * 100

⇒(x/3)*(1/x)*100

⇒33.33

Answer : Hence, the gain percent is 33.33%.
