Question

the cost price of 24 artical is the selling price of 15 articles.find the gain percentage.

Answer 1

HEYA, _____________________________

Let the CP of an artcle be Rs 100
Then CP of 24 articles = 24 × 100
= Rs 2400

SP of 15 articles = Rs 2400
SP of 1 artcle = Rs 2400/15
= Rs 160

Gain = 160 - 100 = Rs 60

Gain% = ( 60/100 × 100)%
= 60%

Hope it helps☺!
