Question:

A person buys some bananas at ₹Y per dozen and sells them at ₹$\frac{Y}{4}$ per banana. What is his gain percentage?

Options:

200%

50%

80%

100%

Correct Answer:

200%

Explanation:

Cost price of bananas = y per dozen 

Selling price of bananas = ₹$\frac{Y}{4}$ × 12 = 3y per dozen 

Profit  = 3y - y  = 2y

Profit % =  \(\frac{2y}{y}\) × 100 = 200%
