Question :

The selling price of an article is 6/5 of the cost price. The gain percent is ?

Solution :

Let the Cost Price be Rs 100.

Then, the Selling Price

  =  Rs \: (\frac{6}{5}  \times 100) \\   = Rs \: (6 \times 20) \\  = Rs \: 120

\fbox{\pink {Selling Price=Rs\:120\:and\:Cost\:Price=Rs\:100}}

\because {Selling \:price\:is \:greater\: than\:Cost\:Price,\:there \:is \:a \:gain.}

\fbox {\blue {Gain=Selling \:Price-Cost\:Price}}

 \implies Gain=Selling \:Price-Cost\:Price \\ \implies Gain = Rs\:120 - Rs\:100 \\ \implies Gain = Rs \: 20

\boxed {\purple{Gain\% =(\frac{Gain}{Cost\:Price}\times 100)\%}}

\implies Gain\% =(\frac{Gain}{Cost\:Price}\times 100)\%\\\implies Gain\%=(\frac{20}{100}\times 100)\%\\\implies Gain\%=20\%

\fbox {\green{The\:Gain\: percent \:is \:20\%}}
