Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 2 : 20%
Given:
The cost price of 66 Laptop is equal to the selling price of 55 Laptop
Formula Used:
Profit % = {(SP – CP)/CP} × 100
Calculation:
Let the CP of 1 Laptop = Rs. 1
CP of 55 Laptop = Rs.. 55
CP of 66 Laptop = Rs. 66
SP of 55 Laptop = CP of 66 Laptop = Rs. 66
Gain percent = [(66 – 55)/55] × 100 = 20%
∴ Gain percent is 20%

How to calculate selling price using cost and loss percent?
We know, Selling Price = cost price - loss
Selling Price = cost price - \(\frac{Loss Percentage × Cost Price}{100}\)
Selling Price = \(\frac{100 × Cost Price - Loss Percentage × Cost Price}{100}\)
Selling Price = Cost Price (\(\frac{100 - Loss Percentage}{100}\)), [Here, cost price and loss% are known.]
Solved examples will help us to find selling price when the cost price and loss% are known:
1. Shelly bought a dress for $150 and sold it to Jenny there by suffering a loss of 10%. Find the selling price of the dress.
Solution:
Given cost price = $150
Loss % = 10%
We know, selling price = Cost Price (\(\frac{100 - Loss Percentage}{100}\))
= 150 (\(\frac{100 - 10}{100}\))
= 150 (\(\frac{90}{100}\))
= (\(\frac{150 × 90}{100}\))
= 9 × 15
= $135
Therefore, selling price of the dress is $135.
2. Mike bought a laptop for $800 and sold it to Jack there by suffering a loss of 12%. Find the selling price of the laptop.
Solution:
Given cost price = $800
Loss % = 12%
We know, selling price = Cost Price (\(\frac{100 - Loss Percentage}{100}\))
= 800 (\(\frac{100 - 12}{100}\))
= \(\frac{800 × 88}{100}\)
= 88 × 8
= $724
Therefore, selling price of the laptop is $724.
3. By selling a chair for $372, Daisy loses 7%. At what price must she sell it to gain 10%.
Solution:
Given selling price = $ 372
Loss % = 7%
We know, Cost Price = \(\frac{Selling Price × 100}{100 - Loss Percentage}\)
Therefore, cost price = \(\frac{372 × 100}{100 - 7}\)
= \(\frac{372 × 100}{93}\)
= $400
Now cost price = $400
Gain% = 10%
Therefore, selling price = Cost Price [\(\frac{100 + Gain Percentage}{100}\)]
= 400 [\(\frac{100 + 10}{100}\)]
= 110 × 4
= $440
