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% |
