Answer 2

Answer:

Gain % = 15.74%

Step-by-step explanation:

Article bought at 2 for 15 rupees.

So Cost Price of 1 article = Rs. 15/2

Articles sold at 3 for 25 rupees.

So Selling Price of 1 article = Rs. 25/3

Profit Per article = 25/3 - 15/2

Gain % = Profit x 100/Cost Price = (25/3 - 15/2) * 100 / (15/2)

Gain % = (8.333 - 7.2) * 100/ 7.2

Gain % = 15.74%
