Question 59

The SP of a washing machine is $$1\frac{1}{3}$$ of its C.P. Find the gain percent.

Solution

Let the cost price be x. Then,

selling price = $$1\frac{1}{3}x$$

= $$\frac{4}{3}x$$

Gain = Selling Price - Cost Price

= ₹($$\frac{4}{3}x$$ - x)

= ₹$$\frac{4x -3x}{3}$$

= ₹$$\frac{x}{3}$$

Gain % =$$\frac{gain}{cp}\times 100$$

=$$\frac{\frac{x}{3}{x}\times 100$$

= ₹$$\frac{100}{3}%$$

= $$33\frac{1}{3}$$%
