Bheja Fry Question

  Monica purchased a pressure cooker at 9/10th of its selling price.  Later she sold it at 8% more than its selling price.

What is her gain percentage  ??

In the first, we assign a value to original selling price.

Let us assume that original selling price of cooker is Rs 100.

Monica bought it at 9/10 th of original selling price.

==>>  cost price  =  9/10  *  original selling price

==>>  cost price =  9/10  *  100

==>>    cost price  =   90.

Monica sold the pressure cooker at 8% more than its original selling price.

==>>  New selling price  =  original price + 8% of original price 

==>>                = 100  +   8%of 100

==>>  New selling price =  100  +  8

==>> New selling price  =  108

This means Monica bought the cooker at  90 and resold it at  108.

Her gain =  108 -  90  =  18

To find out gain percentage,

Gain percentage  =   18/90  * 100

==>>          1/5   *  100

==>>     Gain percentage  =  20%    !!!

Cat's Head nebula

Cat's Head nebula is NOT a separate nebula. It's a small pillar of dust INSIDE the big *Carina Nebula*.

- Distance: *7,500 light-years* from Earth.

*Why called Cat's Head?*

- It looks like a *cat sitting with its back to us, head turned right*.!!!!

- Long dark body = cat's back and tail

- Top rounded part = head with 2 small ears

- *Red glowing dot = Cat's eye!* That eye is actually a *baby star* born inside dust.!!!!

*How it formed?*

- Nearby there are super big stars (Eta Carinae - 5 million times brighter than Sun).

- Their strong UV light and wind blew away light dust, but dense dust stayed - carved into cat shape.

- It's temporary - after some lakh years, it will break and vanish.
