If a man buys 1 liter of milk for 12 rs. and mixes it with 20% water and sells it for 15 rs then wat is d %age of gain...

• 50%
  Quantity after adding 20% water=1.2 liter
  SP of 1.2 lit.@15 Rs./liter=15*1.2=18 Rs
  CP=12 Rs/lit.
  % profit=100*(18-12)/12=50

• Before mixing
  ------------
  Cp of 1L milk= Rs 12
  
  20% water is mixed , so new vol = 1200 mL
  
  since water is free of cost so CP of 1L milk = Rs 10
  A/Q
  it is being sold @ Rs15 .
  Hence profit = 50%

• He buys it for 12 Rs. Adds water20 %. So cost of mixture is 12.00.
  Sells it for 15 RS. So profit is 15-12 = 3 Rs.
  Percentage of profit is (3/12)X 100 = 25%
  
  NB: Sells it for 15rs not sells it for 15rs per lt.

• after 20% sell rate (1.2l) = Rs.15/-
  so for 1l= 15/1.2
  = 12.50
  Actual rate for 1l= Rs.12/-
  Gain= 12.50-12=.50
  % of gain = .50/12 x100=4.166%

• Ans = 50%
  1 litre cost = Rs 12
  now 20% water is added,so 1.2L cost price becomes rs 12
  C.P of 1 L Milk=Rs(12/1.2)=Rs 10
  Given,S.P of 1L Milk= Rs 15
  Profit=Rs(15-10)=Rs 5
  
  Therefore, %age gain=(profit/C.P)*100=(5/10)*100=50% (Ans)

• Let us take 1 liter of milk as 100%. So price of 100% of milk is Rs.12.
  Now if in the mixture of milk and water, 20% of the mixture is water, then 80% must be milk. And as 100% of milk is Rs. 12, then 80% of milk must cost (80*12)/100=Rs. 9.6
  Now, when the mixture is sold at Rs. 15, then the gain is Rs.(15-9.6)= Rs. 5.4
  Therefore, the percentage gain= (5.4/12)*100% = 45%

• i lit - 12 rs implies....1.2 litres how much??
  it costs 14.4 so it is 3+2.4 =5.4

  100% milk is for 12rs
  there4 80% for 9.6rs
  sp=15rs
  there4 gain =15-9.6
  =5.4rs/-
  %gain = 5.4/12*100= 45%

• let the milk is 100liter , than the cost prize will be 100*12=1200
  if we mix 20%water than the milk will be 120 liter having cp=1200
  and given the sailing prize is 15 rs per liter than it is sp=1800
  gain%=100*(1800-1200)/1200=50%

• for 1tr=15/-
  therefore for 1.2ltr(since,20% water)=1.2*15=18/-
  now gain=(sp-cp)/100cp=(18-12)/100*12=50% ans.....

• Ans = 50%
  1 litre cost = Rs 12
  now 20% water is added,so 1.2L cost price becomes rs 12
  C.P of 1 L Milk=Rs(12/1.2)=Rs 10
  Given,S.P of 1L Milk= Rs 15
  Profit=Rs(15-10)=Rs 5
  
  Therefore, %age gain=(profit/C.P)*100=(5/10)*100=50% (Ans)

• gain=15/1200-12/1000=5*10^(-4)
  %=gain/c.p*100
  =5*10^(-4)/(12/1000)*100

• A man buying 1ltr milk for 12 rs then he is adding up the water to 20% and therefore selling it for 15.So cp=12 and sp=15 sp-cp=gain... gain =3 .. gain%=(3*100)/12 is 25%
