FOR You I had prepared an example please try to do

Example 1

A shopkeeper buys a toy for Rs 250 and sells it for Rs 285. Find his gain and gain percent.

Solution: We have, C.P. of the toy =Rs250 and S.P. of the toy = Rs285

Since S.P. > C.P .So, there is profit/gain given by:

Profit=S.P.–C.P.Profit=Rs.285–Rs.250Profit=Rs.35

Now lets calculate gain in percentange:

Profit%=(ProfitC.P.)×100Profit%=(35250.)×100%Profit

Hence, Gain = Rs 35 and Gain% =14%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of 1 oranges = 2 rs

Sp of 1 oranges = 15/6 rs = 5/3 = 1.6 rs

therefore he has loss

loss = CP - SP

2rs - 1.6rs

0.4 rs

loss percent = loss × 100/cp

0.4 ×100 /2

40.0/2

20 %
