Question 51

An article is sold for ₹ 2070 at a 15% profit. If the article is sold for ₹ 1890, then what will be the gain/loss percent?

Solution

selling price = 2070

let's assume cost price = 100

Profit of 1st article = $$\frac{15}{100}\times100$$

                                 = 15

S.p =  cost price + profit 

       = 100 + 15  = 115

115 = 2070(given)

       =18

c.p  = $$100\times 18$$
         = 1800  

If  article is sold at 1890  

 = $$\frac{1890-1800}{1800}\times 100$$

Gain = 5 %
