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 |

cp - sp = p
Then total cp 4700 + 800 = 5500.
So, sp 5800.
cp - sp ---> 5800 - 5500 = 300.
p/cp * 100.
300/5500 * 100 = 5,5/11.
Then total cp 4700 + 800 = 5500.
So, sp 5800.
cp - sp ---> 5800 - 5500 = 300.
p/cp * 100.
300/5500 * 100 = 5,5/11.

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
profit%=300*100 divide by CP 5500 than we find 5.4545%

60/11 can also b written as 5 5/11. Because if we simplify this mixed fraction. That is 11 * 5 + 5/11 = 60/11 only.

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

@Sudhakar.
The selling price is Rs 115.
Cost price is Rs 100.
Actually, profit is 15.
Then, % of profit is 15.

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.
So, the result is 5 * 5/11.
