Question

A cloth merchant claims to sell his cloth at cost but measures 90 cm instead of 1 m. Find his profit percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Here the tailor uses 90 cm scale and shows it as 100 cm or 1 meter.

let’s assume a cloth is priced at Rs 100 per meter.

So, the tailor is using the 90 cm scale hence he is charging RS.100 for 90 cm cloth.

For example he is selling cloth of 1 meter.

His cost price = Rs. 90

Selling price as per 1 meter = Rs. 100

His profit = Selling price- Cost Price = 100–90 = Rs.10

Profit percentage = Profit/Cost Price * 100 = (10/90)*100 = 11.11%
