Question

A shopkeeper purchased 70 kg of onions for ₹560 and sold the whole lot at the rate of ₹10 per kg. What will be his gain percentage?

A.

28%

B.

17.5%

C.

25%

D.

20%

Correct option is C

Given:

Cost price (C.P.) of 70 kg of onions = ₹560

Selling price (S.P.) per kg = ₹10

Total selling price for 70 kg = 70 × 10 = ₹700

Formula Used:

Gain Percentage = GainCost Price×100\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100

Gain = Selling Price − Cost Price

Solution:

First, calculate the gain:

Gain = 700 – 560 = 140

Gain Percentage = 140560×100\frac{140}{560} \times 100​ = 25%
