Question

some toffes are bought at the rate of 6 for a rupee and sold at 5 for arupee . find the gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of six toffees = Rs 1

CP of one toffee = Rs 1/6   ----- (1)

SP of 5 toffees = Rs 1

SP of 1 toffee = Rs 1/5          ---- (2)

Comparing (1) and (2)

Taking LCM = 30

1/6 and 1/5 become 5 and 6  in the numerator

Since CP (5) less than SP (6), we conclude that the transaction is profit.

Actual profit = 6-5 = 1

Profit percentage = profit X 100/CP

= 1 X 100/5 = 20%        

Ans: 20%

Answer 2

Answer:

20% easy but actually it is loss % not gain% because CP>SP

Step-by-step explanation:

Like this I found this answer

Loss=CP-SP

=6-5=1

1/100×5=1/20=20%
