Question

If the sp of 16 water bottle is equal to the cp of 17 water bottle, find the gain pe rcent earned by the dealer.

Answer 1

LET SP OF ONE BOTTLE​ BE X
SO, SP OF 16 BOTTLES = 16X

LET CP OF ONE BOTTLE BE Y
SO, CP OF 17 BOTTLES BE 17Y

SO 10X = 17Y
X= 17Y/16 AND Y = 16X/17

SP OF ONE BOTTLE IS X
CP OF ONE BOTTLE IS Y = 16X/17
PROFIT = SP - CP
= X - 16/17
= 17-16X/17
= X/17

PROFIT% = X/17×100/16X/17
