Question
Find the gain or loss per cent when:
CP = Rs. 2400 and SP = Rs. 2592
CP = Rs. 2400 and SP = Rs. 2592
✓
Answer
C.P. = Rs. 2400
SP = Rs. 2592
Gain = SP - CP
= Rs. 2592 - Rs. 2400 = Rs. 192
$\therefore\text{Gain%}=\frac{\text{Total gain}\times100}{\text{CP}}$
$=\frac{192\times100}{2400}$
$=8\%$
SP = Rs. 2592
Gain = SP - CP
= Rs. 2592 - Rs. 2400 = Rs. 192
$\therefore\text{Gain%}=\frac{\text{Total gain}\times100}{\text{CP}}$
$=\frac{192\times100}{2400}$
$=8\%$
