Find the cost price of 1 orange:

5 oranges = Rs 40

1 orange = 40 ÷ 5 = Rs 8

Find the selling price of 1 orange:

1 orange = Rs 9

Find the gain:

Gain = 9 - 8 = Rs 1

Find the gain percentage:

Gain Percentage = gain/cost price x 100

Gain Percentage = 1/8 x 100 = 12.5%

Answer: The gain is 12.5%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. per egg= Rs 16/9

S.P. per egg=Rs 20/11

Profit=20/11–16/9= (180–176)/99= Rs 4/99.

Profit percentage =profit×100/C.P.

=(4/99)×100/(16/9) %

=(4×100×9)/(99×16) %

= 25/11 %. or. 2 3/11 %.

Profit %. = 2. 3/11. %. or. 2.27 %. Answer
