The selling price of 34 articles is equal to the cost price of 38 artieles. What is the gain percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11131711\frac{13 }{17}%.

Selling price = SP and Cost price = CP

So,

34SP = 38CP

⇒ CP/SP = 34/38

Let, CP = 34x and SP = 38x

Gain = SP - CP = 38x - 34x = 4x

Gain percentage = (4x/34x) × 100 = 11131711\frac{13 }{17}%

Therefore, the gain percentage is 11131711\frac{13 }{17}%.
