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 |

Final answer we got is improper fraction 60/11.
We convert it into mixed number so divide 60 by 11.
11)60(5
55
----

We write it in the form of 5(5/15).

Cost price (Rs.)(4700+800) = 15.5500.
Selling price = (S.P)-(C.P) = Rs.(5800-5500) = Rs.300.
Gain%(300\5500)x100% = 5(5\11)%
Selling price = (S.P)-(C.P) = Rs.(5800-5500) = Rs.300.
Gain%(300\5500)x100% = 5(5\11)%

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:
CP: 4700 + 800 = 5500
Sp: 5800
Gain% = 5800 - 5500
Gain = 300
=> 300 * 100 / 5500 = 60/11.
=> 5(5/11) %.
CP: 4700 + 800 = 5500
Sp: 5800
Gain% = 5800 - 5500
Gain = 300
=> 300 * 100 / 5500 = 60/11.
=> 5(5/11) %.

20 is equal to 100.
Q say to find sales value and include profit
Then 20/100-125 = 25.

C.P. = 4700 + 800.
= 5500.
S.P. = 5800.
Now,
C.P : S.P = 55 : 58.
3*100/55 = 5(5/11).
= 5500.
S.P. = 5800.
Now,
C.P : S.P = 55 : 58.
3*100/55 = 5(5/11).

60/11.
Take a number in 11th table which is nearest to 60 ie (11 * 5 = 55).
Quotient = 5.
Divisor 11.
But we want 60 so add 5 in 55.
i.e (11 * 5 + 5/11).
Remainder = 5.
So, 5(5/11).
