Gain Percentage = (Gain/Cost price) × 100
Given,
Selling Price of 11 articles = Selling Price of 1 article
Let,
Selling Price of 1 article = S
Then, Selling Price of 11 articles = 11S
Cost Price of 1 article = C
Then, Cost Price of 11 articles = 11C
Gain = Selling Price of 11 articles – Cost Price of 11 articles
= 11S – 11C
Gain Percentage = (Gain/Cost price) × 100
= (11S – 11C)/11C × 100
= (11S/11C – 1) × 100
= (S/C – 1) × 100
= (S – C)/C × 100
= (S – C)/C × 100
= (S/C – 1) × 100
= 10%
Therefore, the gain % is 10%.
