A boy buys 9 apples for Rs. 9.60 and sells them at 11 for Rs. 12. Find his gain or loss percent.
L.C.M of 9 and 11 = 99
Let 99 apples were purchased.
∴ C.P of 99 apples at the rate of 9 apples for Rs. 9.60
=999×9.60=Rs.105.60
S.P of 99 apples at the rate of 11 for Rs. 12
=9911×12=Rs.108
∵ S.P > C.P
∴ Gain = S.P - C.P = Rs. 108.00 - Rs. 105.60
=Rs. 2.40
Gain%=Gain×100C.P.=Rs.2.40×100105.60=240×100×10010560×100=10044=2511=2311%
