Ques 3 - answer is in the picture
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Answer : answer is 18%
Let CP of whole be Rs. x then, CP of 2/3rd = Rs. 2x/3 ; CP od 1/3rd = Rs. x/3
SP = {(120/100 x 2x/3) + (114/100 x x/3)} = Rs. (4x/5 + 19x/50) =Rs. (59x/50)
Gain = (59x/50 - x) = Rs. 9x/50 ; Gain% = 9x/50 x 1/x x 100 = 18%.
2. Let total consignment is 600 units
And the value of 1 unit is = Rs. 1
The value of 600 units
= 1\( times )600
= Rs. 600
16 units \( rightarrow ) 400
1 unit \( rightarrow )\( Large \frac{400}{16} )
600 unit \( rightarrow )\( Large \frac{400}{16} \times 600 = 15000 )
Value of consignment = Rs. 15000
3. A Tradesman marks his goods 30% above the cost price. If he allows a discount of 6 whole 1 / 4 % then his gain percent is what ?
Given statement
Gain=SP-CP
(A+B+AB/100)%
(30-25/4+(30)(-25)/4*100)
(30-25/4-30/16
(480-100-30/16)
175/8=21.875%
That is,,
Twenty one whole7/8%
