Answer 2

Answer:

GIVEN:-

CP of chair

SP of chair

To find:-

Gain%

Step by step explanation:-

CP = Rs.15

SP = Rs.400

Difference = 400-15

                 = 385

Gain % = $\frac{difference}{CP}x 100$

            = $\frac{385}{15}x100$

            = $\frac{71}{3} x100$(divided by 5)

            ≅ 23.6 x 100 (simplified fraction to 23.6)

            = 2360% increase
