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

Dear Cost Price (C.P.)

 = (450×24) = Rs. 10800Selling Price(S.P.)

 = (16*600) + (8*400) = Rs. 12800Profit = S.P - C.P. = 12800 - 10800 = Rs. 2000Percentage gain == Profit/C.P.×100= 2000/10800×100 = 200000/10800= 18.51 %
