Answer 1

Answer:

Gain%=66.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P=25000

C.P=25000*3/5

=15000

As C.P is less than S.P ,it's gain.

Gain=25000-15000=10000

Gain%= gain*100/C.P

=10000*100/15000

=200/3

=66.6%

Answer 2

$\\ \\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{given:} }}}$

• Selling price of article is 25000.

• Cost price is 3/5 of selling price.

$\\ \\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{to \: find:} }}}$

• Gain or loss percent on the article.

$\\ \\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{solution:} }}}$

Cost price is 3/5 of selling price which is 25000.

Cost price = (3/5)(25000)

Cost price = 3×5000

Cost price = 15000

____________________

Cost price is 15000 and selling price is 25000.

So , we can clearly see that there is profit on the article.

$\\ \boxed{ \small\sf \: profit \: \% = \frac{selling \: price - cost \: price}{cost \: price} \times 100} \\ \\ \\ \sf \: profit \: \% = \frac{25000 - 15000}{150 \cancel{00}} \times \cancel{100} \\ \\ \\ \sf \: profit \: \% = \frac{10000}{150} \\ \\ \\ \sf \: \blue{ profit \: \% = 66.66}$

Hence , article gained 66.66% of profit.
