Solution

Step 1: Calculate the cost price and selling price per toffee.

Tarun bought 10 toffees for Rs 8, so the cost price per toffee is Rs 8/10 = Rs 0.8.

He sold 8 toffees for Rs 10, so the selling price per toffee is Rs 10/8 = Rs 1.25.

Step 2: Calculate the gain.

The gain is the selling price per toffee minus the cost price per toffee, which is Rs 1.25 - Rs 0.8 = Rs 0.45.

Step 3: Calculate the gain percent.

The gain percent is the gain divided by the cost price per toffee, times 100%, which is (Rs 0.45/Rs 0.8) * 100% = 56.25%.

So, the answer is 56.25%.
