Q:

Subbu purchased a tape recorder at 9/10 of its selling price and sold it at 8% more than its selling price. His gain is

Answer

Let S.P = x then C.P = \inline \frac{9x}{10}


Selling price received by subbu = (108% of x)


                                            = \inline \frac{108}{100}x=\frac{27}{25}x


Gain= \inline (\frac{27}{25}x-\frac{9}{10}x)=\frac{9}{50}x


Hence gain% = \inline (\frac{9x}{50}\times \frac{10}{9x}\times 100) = 20%
