Gain formula is (s.p) > (c.p).

Then apply the formula.

Gain = (300/5500 x 100).
Ans = (5 x 5/11)% gain.

The correct answer is 5.45%.

Gain% = (Gain * 100) / CP.
Where Gain = SP - CP.

Here CP = 4700 the price he bought the item but in the question, it is said that he spends 800 More on repair, therefore total amount he spends is CP + repairing cost = 4700 + 800 = 5500.

Therefore CP becomes 5500 (Amount he spent for purchasing as well as for repairing)
SP = 5800 (Given).
Gain = SP - CP.
=> 5800 - 5500 = 300.
Gain% = (Gain * 100) / CP.
=> (300 * 100) / 5500,
=> 300 / 55,
=> 5.454545%.

It is 25% @Aamir.

5 5/11 gives the result 5.454545 % if converted into a vulgar fraction.

300/55 gives the results as 5*25/55. 25/55 can be further cancelled out into 5/11.

So, the result is 5 * 5/11.

Please solve this problem.

Vishnu bought 170 kg of sugar at the rate of RS.5.80 per kg and mixed it in 130 kg sugar purchased at RS.5.30 per kg.He sold the mixture with a profit of Rs.161.

The rate of the mixture let kg was?

If I s a Things (A) in 240 it will lose 10% in how much I have to sell it to get 30% profit?

How to get C.P(x) = 266.667?

How to find ratio?

170kg*rs5.80=Rs 986
130kg*Rs5.30=Rs689
A/Q

Total C.P=Rs 986+Rs 689
=Rs 1675.

Gain= Rs 161.
S.P=C.P+Gain,
=Rs1675+161,
=Rs 1736.
