    Question

    A merchant sells 60 metre of cloth and gains selling price of 15 metre. Find the gain percent (rounded off to 1 decimal place).

    A.

    33.7%

    B.

    36.7%

    C.

    37.3%

    D.

    33.3%

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Cloth sold = 60 metres

    Gain = Selling price of 15 metres

    Formula Used:

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

    Solution:

    Let the selling price per metre be ₹1 

    Then,

    Selling Price of 60 m = ₹60

    Gain = ₹15

    Cost Price = ₹60 − ₹15 = ₹45

    Gain % = (1545)×100=33.3% \left( \frac{15}{45} \right) \times 100 = 33.3\%​​
