Answer:

Gain of 12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of chairs = 400 per chair

total chairs bought = 24

Cost Price of chairs = 24 X 400

= Rs. 9,600

Selling Price of Chairs = Rs. 10,800

Since, SP > CP

Therefore, its a Profit/Gain of = SP - CP

= Rs. (10800 - 9600)

= Rs. 1200

Now, Profit % = (Profit÷CP) X 100

= (1200÷9600) X 100

= 0.125 X 100

= 12.5 %

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer

Cost price of 1 table =Rs.450

Hence, cost price of 24 tables =24×450=Rs.10800

Selling price of 16 tables =16×600=Rs.9600

Selling price remaining tables (8)

=8×400=Rs.3200

Selling price of 24 tables =9600+3200=12800

Here, S.P.>C.P.

Therefore, gain of =12800−10800=Rs.2000

Gain%=

10800

2000

×100=18.5%
