Answer 2

$\begin{gathered}\large {\boxed{\sf{\mid{\overline {\underline {\star ANSWER ::}}}\mid}}}\end{gathered}$

Given :-

• Some articles are bought at 2 for ₹ 15 and sold at 3 for ₹ 25.

To Find :-

• Gain percentage

Solution :-

COST PRICE :

• 2 articles are bought for ₹ 15.

Which implies that,

Cost price of 1 article = ₹ 15/2 = ₹ 7.5

SELLING PRICE :

• 3 articles are sold for ₹ 25.

Which implies that,

Selling price of 1 article = ₹ 25/3 = ₹ 7.34

PROFIT/GAIN :

• PROFIT = SELLING PRICE - COST PRICE

Profit = ₹ 7.34 - 7.5

Profit = - ₹ 0.16

(Means loss)

PROFIT PERCENTAGE :

• PROFIT PERCENTAGE = PROFIT x 100

Profit Percentage = (-0.16) x 100

Profit Percentage = -16%

(Means 16% loss)

Final Answer :

• Loss 16% (or) Profit -16%
