First we will convert those radian angles to degrees, since my mind works better with degrees. Let's work one at a time. First, 
. If we start at the positive x-axis and measure out 315 we end up in the 4th quadrant with a reference angle of 45 with the positive x-axis. The side across from the reference angle is -1, the side adjacent to the angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2. The cotangent of this angle, then is 1/-1 which is -1. As for the second one, converting radians to degrees gives us that 
. Sweeping out that angle has us going around the origin more than once and ending up in the first quadrant with a reference angle of 30° with the positive x-axis. The side across from the angle is 1, the side adjacent to the angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2. Therefore, the secant of that angle is 2/√3.
Given parameters:
Cost price of the article = Nu.28.30
Selling price of the article = Nu.29.30
Unknown:
Gain percentage = ?
The gain percentage is the same as the percentage profit on a trade.
The formula is given as:
Gain percentage =
Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= Nu.29.30 - Nu.28.30
= Nu. 1
Now input the parameters and solve;
Gain percentage =
= 3.5%
The gain percent is 3.5%
