Question

On selling 250 cassettes, a man had a gain equal to the selling price of 25 cassettes. Find his gain per cent .

Answer 1

Answer:

The gain percent is 11.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : On selling 250 cassettes, a man had a gain equal to the selling price of 25 cassettes.

To Find : His gain per cent?

Solution :

Gain = Selling price - Cost price

i.e. Gain = Selling price of 250 cassettes - Cost price of 250 cassettes

We have given,

Gain = Selling price of 25 cassettes

So, Selling price of 25 cassettes = Cost price of 250 cassettes

Let the cost price of 1 cassettes be Rs. 'x'.

Cost price of 225 cassettes = Rs.225x

Selling price of 225 cassettes = Rs.250x

Gain percentage is given by,

$G\%=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{250x-225x}{225x}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{25x}{225x}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{1}{9}\times 100$

$G\%=11.11\%$

Therefore, The gain percent is 11.11%.
