Question

Murali purchased a dozen pencils for
Rs. 5.40 and sold them at 54 paise each.
The gain percent is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen=12

So, he bought 12 pencils for rupees 5.40

now, he sold each at 54 paise which is

         54×12 = 648

so when calculated paise in rupees

we get, 1 rupee = 100 paise

            ?     = 648

⇒648/100

⇒6.48 rupees

Here , CP>SP

So, gain= SP - CP

            =  6.48 - 5.40

            = 1.08

SO, Gain percent = (Gain/CP) × 100    

                             = (1.08/5.40) × 100

                             = 0.2 × 100

                             = 20

Therefore.. Gain percent is 20.
