Question

On selling a bat for ₹ 100, a man gains ₹20. His gain % is

(a) 20% (b) 25% (c) 18% (d) 22%

Answer 1

(b) 25%

Because,

Selling price of bat = ₹ 100

Amount gain by selling bat = ₹20

Cost price of the bat = (100 – 20)

= ₹ 80

Gain % = {(gain/CP) × 100}

= {(20/80) × 100}

= {(20/20) × 25}

= 25%
