Answer 1

• Gain percent is 18.88% .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:-

• Gain percent.

Solution:-

Given that,

Nitin buys a scooter for Rs.26000.

He changed its tyres and tubes. Then, He spend Rs.2600.

And Nitin sold the scooter for Rs.34000.

Gain = Selling price - Cost price

• Gain is the profit which we gain after Selling something.

• Selling price is price by which something is selled to someone.

• Cost price is the original price by which we buy something.

Here,

Selling price = Rs. 34000

Cost price = Rs.26000 + 2600 = Rs. 28600

Put Selling and cost price in gain formula:

➞ Gain = 34000 - 28600

➞ Gain = 5400

Gain is Rs.5400 .

$\boxed{\bold{Gain \: percent = \frac{Gain}{C.P} \times 100}}$

[C.P = Cost price]

➞ Gain percent = 5400/28600 × 100

➞ Gain percent = 540000/28600

➞ Gain percent = 18.88

Therefore,

Gain percent after selling scooter is 18.88%.

Answer 2

Answer

Answer:

$\huge \clubs \sf \: given$

nitin buys a scooter for rupees 26000

changed its tyres and tubes and thus spent rupees 2600

he then sold it for rupees 34000 find his gain per cent

$\huge \sf \diamond \: to \: find$

Gain percentage

$\huge \sf \diamond \: solution$

First we have to find total money spent by Nitin =

$\sf \: 26000 + 2600 = 28600$

$\sf \: cp \: of \: scooter \: = 28600$

$\sf \: sp \: of \: scooter \: = 34000$

Now,

We will find his profit

$\huge \bf \: profit \: = sp - cp$

$\sf \: profit \: = 34000 - 28600$

$\sf \: profit \: = 5400$

$\huge \bf \: gain\% =\frac{gain}{cp} \times 100$

$\sf \implies \: gain \: \% \: = \frac{5400}{28600} </p><p>\times 100$.

$\sf \implies \: gain \: \% \: = \frac{540000}{28600}$

$\sf \implies \: gain \: \% \: = 18.888\%$

$\sf \therefore \: gain \: percent \: of \: nitin \: = 18.888\%$
