Question

A lady buys bananas at 3 Rs 5 and sells them at 2 Rs for Rs 5; find her gain percent.​

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

Cost of 3 bananas= Rs. 5 ⇒ cost of 1 banana= Rs. 5/3

Selling price of 2 bananas= Rs. 5 ⇒ selling price of 1 banana= Rs. 5/2

Gain= Rs. (5/2- 5/3)= Rs. (15/6- 10/6)= Rs. 5/6

Gain %= 5/6÷5/3 × 100%= 50%
