Question

On Selling a bat for rupees 100, a man gains rupees 20. What is his gain %.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

selling price=100Rs

gain rupees=20Rs

cost price =selling price -gain

=100-20

=80 Rs

gain percent = gain ×100/C.P

=20×100/80

=25 percent.

hope it helps......

Answer 2

Answer:

25%

SP = Rs 100

Profit = Rs 20

So, CP = Rs 100-20=Rs 80

Therefore gain %= 20/80×100=25%

We divided 20 by 80 because profit or loss gain % is always calculated on the cost price.

So, he gained a profit of 25%
