11 oranges are bought for Rs. 10 and 10 oranges are sold for Rs. 11. Find the gain (or) loss percentage.
The correct option is C: 21% gain
Consider the price of each orange
CP of 1 orange =Rs. 1011, SP of 1 orange =Rs. 1110
1011=0.90 and 1110=1.1
SP>CP, then there is gain.
Gain %=SP−CPCP×100%
=1110−10111011×100%
=(11×11)−(10×10)10×11×1110×100%
=121−100100×100%
=21%
Since the profit percentage is positive, the net transaction is a profit.
Hence, the gain % is 21%
