4) Aster selling 72 articles a man makes a ethloss ok 9 article Cost Price Find theLols 72​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Given :

SELLING price of 9 article is EQUAL to the cost price of 15 article.

Find the LCM of 9 and 15 :-

LCM of 9 and 15 is 45

Therefore,

Cost Price of 15 articles = RS 45

Cost Price of 1 article = Rs (45/15) = Rs 3

Selling price of 9 articles = Rs 45

Selling price of 1 article = Rs (45/9) = Rs 5

Now,

We have,

Cost Price of 1 article = Rs 3

Selling price of 1 article = Rs 5

Selling price is GREATER than the Cost price. Therefore, Gain.

Gain = S.P - C.P

= Rs (5 - 3)

= Rs 2

Gain % = (gain × 100)/C.P %

= (2 × 100)/3 %

= 200/3 %

= 66.66 % approx.

Hence,

The gain percent in the transaction is 66.66% or 66⅔%
