Question

A dishonest cloth merchant claims that he sells his clothes at cost price .But he uses a false measure of 95 cm . Instead of imetre. Find his profit percentage?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost of 1meter cloth be x

then the cost of 95cm(0.95m) cloth be y

1m--------> x

0.95m------->y

the cost of 0.95m cloth is y = 0.95x

the cost of 1m cloth is x

the profit is x-0.95x = 0.05x

the profit percentage is 5%x

Answer 2

Answer:

we know that 1m=100cm

so,

gain=100cm-95cm

=5cm.

gain%=5÷95×100=100/19(ans)
