Question

A vegetable seller purchased cabbage at Rs. $8$ each and sold them at Rs. $18$ each. What was his percentage gain per cabbage ?

• A. $40\%$
• B. $125\%$
• C. $100\%$
• D. $75\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $125\%$

Cost price of cabbage = Rs. $8$
Selling price of cabbage = Rs. $18$
Profit = $18-8=10$
Thus, Profit % = $\frac{10}{8}\times 100=125$%
