Question

Meenu purchased an item for ₹ 800 and sold the same for ₹ 1200. The gain percentage is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given C.P of first fan = Rs 1200

He sold the fan at a loss of 5%

⇒ Loss on first fan= 5% of 1200

= 5/100*1200

= Rs 60

S.P of fan = C.P - loss

= 1200 -60

= Rs 1140

C.P of 2nd fan = Rs 1200

He sold at a profit of 10%

profit of second fan= 10% of 1200

= 10/100*1200

= Rs 120

S.P of 2nd fan = profit + C.P

= 1200+120

= Rs 1320

Total cost price of two fans = 1200 + 1200 = Rs 2400

Total S.P of 2 fans = 1320+1140 = Rs 2460

Since S.P > C.P

He got profit on whole

profit = S.P - C.P

= 2460 - 2400

= Rs 60

Profit% = profit/C.P * 100

= 60/2400 * 100

= 2.5% profit on whole

Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP=800/-

SP=1200/-

Gain=SP-CP

=(1200-800)/-

=400/-

Gain percentage=(gain/CP) ×100

=(400/800)×100=50%
