Question

The selling price of 12 lemons is equal to the cost price of 15 lemons. Find the gain per cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of 1 pen =Rs.1

So, cost price of 12 pens =Rs.12

SP of 15 pens =Rs.15

From the question,

Selling price of 12 pens = cost price of 15 pens

Gain =SP−CP

=15−12

=Rs.3

GAIn %={(gain/CP)×100}

={300/12}

=25%
