Question

The cost price of 15 apples is same as the selling price of 20 apples what is the gain or loss percentage

Answer 1

CP of 15 apples = SP of 20 apples
Let the CP of 1 apple be Rs. x
CP of 15 apples = 15x
SP of 20 apples = 20x
SP of 1 apples =15/20x
Profit =SP-CP
=15/20x-x
=x/1.33
=Profit/ CP *100
=(x/1.33)/x*100
=33.25%

Answer 2

Answer:

The gain percent is 33.3%.                              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The cost price of 15 apples is same as the selling price of 20 apples.

To find : What is the gain or loss percentage?

Solution :

Let the cost price of one apple be Rs.1.

The cost price of 15 apples is Rs.15

The selling price of 20 apples is Rs.20.

Since, The cost price of 15 apples is same as the selling price of 20 apples.

$G\%=\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{20-15}{15}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{5}{15}\times 100$

$G\%=\frac{1}{3}\times 100$

$G\%=33.3\%$

Therefore, The gain percent is 33.3%.
