Question

Find the gain or loss per cent, when:
(i) C.P. = Rs 2300, Overhead expenses = Rs 300 and gain = Rs 260.
(ii) C.P. = Rs 3500, Overhead expenses = Rs 150 and loss = Rs 146

Solution

(i) CP = Rs. 2300, overhead expenses = Rs. 300, gain = Rs. 260
Gain % = {(Gain/(CP + overhead expenses)} × 100 = {260/(2300 + 300} × 100 = {260/2600} × 100 = 10%

(ii) CP = Rs. 3500, overhead expenses = Rs. 150, loss = Rs. 146

Loss % = {( Loss/(CP + overhead expenses)} × 100 = {146/(3500+ 150)} × 100
= {146/3650} × 100
= 14600/3650 = 4%
