Question

Some apples are bought at 5 for rs10 and sold at 6 for rs 15. What is the gain percentage

Answer 1

Solutions :-



Given :

Cost Price of 5 apples = Rs 10
Cost Price of 1 apple = Rs 10/5 = Rs 2

Selling price of 6 apples = Rs 15
Selling price of 1 apple = Rs 15/6 = Rs 2.5



Selling price is greater than the Cost price. Therefore, Gain.


Gain = S.P - C.P
= Rs (2.5 - 2)
= Rs 0.5


Gain Percent = (Gain × 100)/C.P %
= (0.5 × 100)/2 %
= 50/2 %
= 25 %


Hence,
The gain percentage is 25%

Answer 2

Solutions :-



We have,

Cost Price of 5 apples = Rs 10
Selling price of 6 apples = Rs 15


Find the cost price of 1 apple :-
5 apples = Rs 10
1 apple = Rs 10/5 = Rs 2


Find the Selling price of 1 apple :-
6 apples = Rs 15
1 apple = Rs 15/6 = Rs 2.5


Now,
Cost Price of 1 apple = Rs 2
Selling price of 1 apple = Rs 2.5


Gain = S.P - C.P
= Rs (2.5 - 2)
= Rs 0.5


Gain % = (Gain × 100)/C.P %
= (0.5 × 100)/2 %
= 50/2 %
= 25 %



Answer : Gain percentage = 25%
