If the selling price of 6 articles is equal to the cost price of 9articles,then find the gain or loss percent.

Answer»

Answer:

50% gain.

Given:

S.P of 6 articles = C.P of 9 articles.

To FIND:

Gain% or loss%.

Solution:

Let the C.P of 1 article be Rs.1

Then the C.P of 9 articles would be Rs.9

S.P of 6 articles = C.P of 9 articles.

=> S.P of 6 articles = Rs.9

And C.P of 6 articles = Rs.6

Here, S.P is GREATER than C.P

Then it would be gain.

Now, Gain = S.P - C.P

=> Gain = Rs.9 - Rs.6

=> Gain = Rs.3

now \:  \: gain\% \:  =  \frac{gain}{c.p} \times 100

=  >  \frac{3}{6} \times 100

=> 50%

HENCE, Gain% will be 50%.
