the gain percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

24÷18/100= profit% is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Required gain percentage is 33.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,The cost price of 24 articles is equal to the selling price of 18 articles.

Let cost price of 24 articles be x rupees.

So,selling price of 18 articles is also x rupees.

Now,Cost of 24 articles is x rupees.

By unitary method, cost of 1 article is $\frac{x}{24}$rupees.

Again selling price of 18 articles is x rupees.

So by unitary method, selling price of 1 article is $\frac{x}{18}$rupees.

Now,$\frac{x}{24}$means 100%

So 1 means $\frac{100}{ \frac{x}{24} } \%$

and $\frac{x}{18}$means $100 \times \frac{24}{x} \times \frac{x}{18} = \frac{400}{3} \% = 133.33\%$

Therefore gain percentage is $(133.33 - 100)\% = 33.33\%$
