Question

The CP of 24 articles is the selling price of 15 articles find the gain percentage

Answer 1

The gain is 60%

Explanation:

Let, the C.P. of 1 article be, 'n'.

∴ The C.P. of 15 articles = (n×15)

                                       = 15n

∴ The C.P. of 24 articles = (n×24)

                                        = 24n

According to the problem,

The S.P. of 15 articles is 24n.

∴ Gain =(S.P. - C.P.)

          = (24n-15n)

           = 9n

∴ Gain% = (9n/15n)×100

             =(9n×100/15n)

            =(3×100/5)

           =(3×20)

            = 60%

∴ The gain is 60%
