Naveen bought some cricket balls at 250 for four balls and solid them at rupees 340 for five balls. Find his Gain or loss per cent.​

Answer 1

Hey mate!

Here's your answer!!

The Cost Price of the ball CP,

= 250/4

= 62.5 Rs.

The Selling Price of ball SP,

= 340/5

= 68 Rs.

He has sold the balls at higher price, hence their is a gain of (68 - 62.5) = 5.50Rs.

Gain %

= 5.50 × 100 / 62.5

= 44/5 %

Hope helps.......

Answer 2

Solution: C.P. of 4 balls= $250

C.P. of 1 ball = $ 250/4 = 62.50

S.P. of 5 balls = $340

S.P. of 1ball = $ 340/5 = $68

Here, S.P. > C.P.

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= $68 - $62.50 = $5.50

So, Profit% = Profit * 100

C.P.

= 5.50 * 100

62.50

= 44%

The answer is 44%.
