Question

Q. 1. A shopkeeper bought a chair for 375 and sold it for 400. Find the gain percentage​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

c. p=375

S. p=400

gain =S.p -c.p

=400-375

=25/-

gain %=gain /c.p *100

= 25/375*100

=1/15*100

=1/3*20

=6.66%

Answer 2

$\huge \sf Given :$

CP of chair = Rs 375

SP of chair =Rs 400

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\huge \sf To \: Find :$

Gain Percent

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

$\huge \sf Solution :$

To find Gain percentage, we have to find Gain.

We know that,

Gain = SP - CP

$\sf :\implies Gain=400-375$

$\sf :\implies Gain=Rs \: 25$

Now for Gain percentage, we have :

$\sf{Gain\:Percentage =\dfrac{Gain}{CP} \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage =\dfrac{25}{375} \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 0.066... \times 100 }$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 6.666...}$

$\sf{ :\implies Gain\:Percentage = 6.7 \% \: (approx.)}$

$\sf \color{fuchsia} \therefore \: Gain \: percentage = 6.7 \% \: (approx.)$
