Answer:
This sum is not same but the method of doing is same,
Step-by-step explanation:
As given,
Articles worth = Rs. 5400
He sold 2/3 rd of them = at 5% profit
He has to sold 1/3 rd of them = at ? profit
: to gain 13% profit to overall
So,
5400 at = 13 % = 0.13
I.e. Total profit = Rs. 702
2/3 rd of 5400 = 3600 at = 5% = 0.05
I.e. Profit he get from 2/3 rd = Rs. 180
Total profit = Profit achieve — Profit req.
702 = 180 - Profit required
Profit required = Rs. 522
For 1/3rd of 5400 he has to get 522 profit
Hence,
Percentage = 522 / 1800 × 100
Percentage = 0.29 × 100
Percentage = 29
He has to sold remaining articles at 29% of profit to achieved 13% overall profit.
