Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 5% gain

Step-by-step explanation:

sp =135

loss%=25%

cp=sp.100/100-L%

= 135.100/100-25

= 13500/75

=180₹

sp is increased to ₹189

than, p=sp-cp

=189-180

=9

p%= p/cp.100

=9/180. 100

5% gain

Answer 2

Concept:

Selling price = Cost Price + Gain or Cost Price - Loss

Given:

Selling price = ₹135

Loss percentage = 25 %

Find:

If Selling Price = ₹189, then what is the profit or gain percentage.

Solution:

Let the cost price of watch be x

Loss = 25 % x

Selling price = Cost price - loss

SP = x - 25% x

135 = 3 / 4 x

x = ₹180

Now the new SP = ₹189

Gain = ₹189 - ₹180

Gain = ₹9

Gain percentage = ₹9 / ₹180 × 100

Gain percentage = 5 %

Therefore, the gain percentage is 5 %.
