Question

A dealer buys an article for ₹2,200 and sells it for ₹4,000. If his overhead charges are ₹300, then what is his gain percentage?

A.

60%

B.

65%

C.

40%

D.

50%

Correct option is A

Given:

Cost Price (C.P.) = ₹2,200

Selling Price (S.P.) = ₹4,000

Overhead charges = ₹300

Formula Used:
The gain percentage is calculated based on the total cost (including overhead charges) and the selling price.

Total Cost = C.P.+ Overhead charges

Gain= S.P.−Total Cost

Gain Percentage =(GainTotal Cost)×100=\left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Total Cost}} \right) \times 100

Formula Used:

Total Cost = 2200 + 300 = 2500

Gain= 4000 - 2500 = 1500

Gain Percentage = (15002500)×100=60%\left( \frac{1500}{2500} \right) \times 100 = 60\%
