=50×112×100

=56

∴ The selling price is Rs 56 .

Answer 2

Answer:

The gain percentage is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

• Take the selling price and subtract the initial purchase price.
• The result is the gain or loss.
• Take the gain or loss from the investment and divide it by the original amount or purchase price of the investment.
• Finally, multiply the result by 100 to arrive at the percentage change in the investment.

Percentage gain means to express the profit or the gain in the form of percentages. This way makes it easier and faster for a person to understand the variables or the vitals of a business transaction. Sometimes it is useful to find the increase or decrease of an amount.

Now ,

Given

• original cost price of pen is = Rs 50
• Price at which it's sold is =Rs 60

Now ,

Gain = selling price-cost price

=60-50

= 10

Gain% = profit ×100/ cost price

=10×100/50

= 1000/50

=20%
