    Question

    A chair is bought for Rs. 800 and sold for Rs. 1,100. Find the gain percentage.

    A.

    40%

    B.

    30%

    C.

    37.5%

    D.

    32.3%

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Cost Price (C.P) = Rs. 800

    Selling Price (S.P) = Rs. 1,100

    Formula Used:

    Gain %=(GainCost Price)×100\text{Gain } \% = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100

    Solution:

    ​ Profit = SP - CP = 1,100 - 800 = 300

    Profit% = (300800)×100=37.5%\left( \frac{300}{800} \right) \times 100 = 37.5\%​​
