The correct Answer is:
To find the gain percentage from selling 130 cassettes where the gain is equal to the selling price of 5 cassettes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Let the Selling Price of 1 Cassette be x**: - We denote the selling price of one cassette as \( x \). 2. **Calculate the Selling Price of 130 Cassettes**: - The selling price of 130 cassettes is given by: \[ \text{Selling Price (SP)} = 130 \times x = 130x \] 3. **Calculate the Gain**: - The problem states that the gain is equal to the selling price of 5 cassettes. Therefore: \[ \text{Gain} = \text{Selling Price of 5 cassettes} = 5 \times x = 5x \] 4. **Determine the Cost Price (CP)**: - The cost price can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Cost Price (CP)} = \text{Selling Price (SP)} - \text{Gain} \] - Substituting the values we have: \[ CP = 130x - 5x = 125x \] 5. **Calculate the Gain Percentage**: - The gain percentage is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{5x}{125x} \right) \times 100 \] - Simplifying this: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{5}{125} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{1}{25} \right) \times 100 = 4\% \] ### Final Answer: The gain percentage is **4%**. ---
