To find Arun's gain percent, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Gain and Cost Price (CP)**: - Gain (Profit) = Rs. 0.70 - Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 70 2. **Use the Formula for Gain Percent**: - The formula for gain percent is given by: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left(\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}}\right) \times 100 \] 3. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: - Substitute the gain and cost price into the formula: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left(\frac{0.70}{70}\right) \times 100 \] 4. **Calculate the Fraction**: - Calculate the fraction: \[ \frac{0.70}{70} = 0.01 \] 5. **Multiply by 100 to Get the Gain Percent**: - Now, multiply by 100: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = 0.01 \times 100 = 1\% \] ### Final Answer: Arun's gain percent is **1%**.
