Question:

Satish bought 35 notebooks for ₹700 and sold 28 of them for ₹600. Find his percentage gain.

Options:

$7\frac{1}{7}$%

$9\frac{1}{7}$%

$6\frac{1}{7}$%

$8\frac{1}{7}$%

Correct Answer:

$7\frac{1}{7}$%

Explanation:

Cost price of 35 notebooks = 700

So, CP of 1 notebook = 20

Selling price of 28 notebooks = 600

So, Selling price of 1 notebook = \(\frac{600}{28}\) = \(\frac{150}{7}\)

Profit = \(\frac{150}{7}\) - 20 = \(\frac{10}{7}\)

Profit% = \(\frac{\frac{10}{7}}{20}\) × 100 = $7\frac{1}{7}$%
