2) 11.097 %
3) 10.48 %

Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (14650 + 2184) = Rs. 16834

Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 18850

Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(18850 - 16834) = Rs. 2016

Gain % = (2016/16834)*100 = 11.9757 = ~ 11.98%

W J Krishna Teja   7 years AGO

total cost price =buying cost +repair cost
=14650 + 2184 = 16834
Selling Price = 18850
Profit=SP-CP
= 18850-16834=2016
Profit %=(profit/C.P)*100=(2016/16834)*100=11.9757

Shritansh   7 years AGO

Since we have total C.P= 14650+2184=16834
And S.P=18850
Gain percent = (S.P)/(C.P) *100 - 100

Sampad Mukherjee   7 years AGO

CP = 14,650
Repairs = 2184

Gain % = 11.975
or approximately 11.98%

cost price= 14650+ 2184( service charge)=16834
actual selling price =18850
then subtract 18850-16834=2016
so gain percent=gain / cost price *100
