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 |

SP = 5800.
CP = 4700+800 (money spend by Alfred).
So, the new CP will be = 5500.
Profit = SP-CP.
= 5800-5500 = 300 Rs.
Profit % = Profit*100/CP.
= 300*100/5500.
= 5.45.
CP = 4700+800 (money spend by Alfred).
So, the new CP will be = 5500.
Profit = SP-CP.
= 5800-5500 = 300 Rs.
Profit % = Profit*100/CP.
= 300*100/5500.
= 5.45.

@Manoj.
We need not convert simply into 5.4545.
Just after coming 60/11, 11*5+5=60, 60 divide 11= 5 approx remaining is 5.
So, 5 5/11 that mean 11*5 + 5= 60 same as 60/11.

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)%

@Pooja.
- Consider the selling price is 100.
- He buys it @ 9/10 of sp = 90.
- He sells it wit 8% profit of sp = 108 .
- Then 108-90= 18.
- He gets 18% profit.

20% of 480 = 480*20/100 i.e. Rs.96
total c.p. = 480+96 i.e. 576
profit 144 i.e. s.p. = c.p.+ profit
= 576 + 144
= 720
total c.p. = 480+96 i.e. 576
profit 144 i.e. s.p. = c.p.+ profit
= 576 + 144
= 720

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%.

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.

Final answer we got is improper fraction 60/11.
We convert it into mixed number so divide 60 by 11.
11)60(5
55
----
05
We write it in the form of 5(5/15).

CP = 4700.
SP = 5800.
REPAIR PRICE = 800.
SO CP = 5500.
PROFIT = SP-CP.
P = 5800-5500.
P = 300.
GAIN = PROFIT/CP*100.
G = 300/5500*100.
GAIN = 5*5/11.
SP = 5800.
REPAIR PRICE = 800.
SO CP = 5500.
PROFIT = SP-CP.
P = 5800-5500.
P = 300.
GAIN = PROFIT/CP*100.
G = 300/5500*100.
GAIN = 5*5/11.

Very simple.
= 300*100/5500 = 300/55.
Lets take 5 as a common and divide both the number.
You got 60/11.
After solution of this you got the 5-5/11.
