Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (4700 + 800) = Rs. 5500.
Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 5800.
Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(5800 - 5500) = Rs. 300.
| Gain % = |  |
300 | x 100 |  % |
= 5 | 5 | % |
| 5500 | 11 |

300/5500*100 = 300/55.
= 60/11 and now we can write it in mixed fraction.

C.P is 480.
Total C.P after extra expenditure 480+(20%480).
= 576.
Profit = 144.
Profit % = 144/576 *100.
= 25%.
Total C.P after extra expenditure 480+(20%480).
= 576.
Profit = 144.
Profit % = 144/576 *100.
= 25%.

@Aamir Your answer is Here:
Table purchase price - 480.
Spent 20% of purchase price - 480*20/100 = 96.
Now table cost price is = Purchase+spent(480+96)=576.
To make a profit of 144.
He need to sell it = CP + Profit amount.
=576+144=720.
profit percentage on purchase price = profit value*100/purchase price
=144*100/480=25%.
Carpenter getting 25% profit on purchase price.

We know that CP [4700+800]=5500
SP=5800
profit=SP-CP=5800-5500=300
profit%=300*100 divide by CP 5500 than we find 5.4545%
SP=5800
profit=SP-CP=5800-5500=300

C.p 4700+800=5500 ,s.p 5800 between diff 300 5500 300
100 x (cross multiply)
x=300*100/5500=60/11
100 x (cross multiply)
x=300*100/5500=60/11

It can be done this way:
300 = x/100 * 5500 i.e 5500 is the total lost costs,100=%
300*100 = x*5500
5.45 = x
300 = x/100 * 5500 i.e 5500 is the total lost costs,100=%
300*100 = x*5500
5.45 = x
