1.	A Man Purchased An Article At 3/4 Th Of The List Price And Sold At Half More Than The List Price. What Was His Gain Per Cent?
Answer» Let the List price of the article = RS. 100 Given, Cost price(C.P) =3/4 th of the list price = (3/4) * 100 = 75 Rs. Given, SELLING price =half more than the list price = 1/2 of list price + list price = (1/2) * 100 + 100 = 50 + 100 = 150 Rs. GAIN % = {(S.P - C.P) / C.P} * 100% = {(150 - 75) / 75} * 100% = (75/ 75) * 100% = 100% Thus,Gain % = 100%.

Let the List price of the article = RS. 100

Given, Cost price(C.P) =3/4 th of the list price

= (3/4) * 100

= 75 Rs.

Given, SELLING price =half more than the list price

= 1/2 of list price + list price

= (1/2) * 100 + 100

= 50 + 100

= 150 Rs.

GAIN % = {(S.P - C.P) / C.P} * 100%

= {(150 - 75) / 75} * 100%

= (75/ 75) * 100%

= 100%

Thus,Gain % = 100%.

Let the List price of the article = Rs. 100
