The correct Answer is:
To find the gain percent from the transaction of buying and selling a bicycle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP)**: - Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 1680 - Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 2310 2. **Calculate the Profit**: - Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price - Profit = Rs. 2310 - Rs. 1680 - Profit = Rs. 630 3. **Use the Gain Percent Formula**: - Gain Percent = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 - Gain Percent = (Rs. 630 / Rs. 1680) × 100 4. **Simplify the Calculation**: - First, divide Rs. 630 by Rs. 1680: - Rs. 630 / Rs. 1680 = 21 / 56 (after simplifying by dividing both by 30) - Now, multiply by 100: - Gain Percent = (21 / 56) × 100 5. **Calculate Gain Percent**: - To simplify further, divide 100 by 56: - Gain Percent = 21 × (100 / 56) - This can be calculated as: - Gain Percent = 21 × 1.7857 (approximately) - Gain Percent = 37.5% ### Final Answer: - The gain percent is **37.5%**.
