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 |

Gain = Selling Price(SP) - Cost Price(CP)
Gain% = (Gain/C.P)*100
Gain% = (Gain/C.P)*100
