Question

Orange are bought at Rs.10 for 6 and sold at Rs.9 for 4 find the gain or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Cost Price  of  6  oranges = Rs. 10

So,  Cost Price  of  1 orange = Rs. 10/6

Now, Selling Price  of  4 oranges = Rs. 9

So, Selling Price  of  1 orange = Rs. 9/4

Here, we  see Selling Price  is  greater  than  Cost Price.

So, Gain = S.P. - C.P.

 = 9/4 - 10/6

 = 7/12

Therefore, Gain% = ( Gain / C.P. )  * 100

 = (7/12) / (10/6) * 100 

 = 35%
