Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is:

Correct Answer: 5 5⁄11%

Explanation:

Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (4700 + 800) = Rs. 5500.

Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 5800.


Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(5800 - 5500) = Rs. 300.



Gain % = 300 x 100 ❩% = 5 5 %
5500 11
