Question 71

If the selling price of 40 articles is equal to the cost price of 50 articles, then the percentage loss or gain is:

Solution

Let the cost price of one article =1Rs.

So cost price of 50 article =50Rs.

As per the question it is given that selling price of 40 article = cost price of 50 article =50Rs,

So selling price of 40 article = 50Rs.

Hence selling price of one article $$=\dfrac{50}{40}=1.25$$Rs.

So, the gain amount per article $$=1.25-1=0.25Rs.$$

Hence the %gain$$=\dfrac{0.25\times100}{1}=25\%$$
