Find the gain or loss percent when CP = ₹ 12000 and SP = ₹ 12800.

1.	Find the gain or loss percent when CP = ₹ 12000 and SP = ₹ 12800.
Answer» CP = ₹ 12000 and SP = ₹ 12800 Since (SP) > (CP), so there is a gain Gain = (SP) – (CP) = ₹ (12800 – 12000) = ₹ 800 Gain % = {(gain/CP) × 100} = {(800/12000) × 100} = {800/120} = 6(2/3) % Profit = SP-CP =>Profit =12800-12000=800 Profit percent =profit/CP×100=6.6%

Answer»

CP = ₹ 12000 and SP = ₹ 12800

Since (SP) > (CP), so there is a gain

Gain = (SP) – (CP)

= ₹ (12800 – 12000)

= ₹ 800

Gain % = {(gain/CP) × 100}

= {(800/12000) × 100}

= {800/120}

= 6(2/3) %

Profit = SP-CP

=>Profit =12800-12000=800

Profit percent =profit/CP×100=6.6%
