Question

a dishonest dealer marks his goods 20% above the cost price he gives a discount of 10% to the customer on the Marked price and makes a profit by using a false weight of 900 grams in place of 1 kg while buying or selling find the percentage profit earned by the shopkeeper

Answer 1

profit earned by the shopkeeper is 18.8%

Answer 2

answer

20 percentage

Step-by-step explanation:

He sells only 900 grams when he takes the money for 1 kg.

and

he sells at a 8% profit (20% markup, 10% discount)

Hence, his selling price is Rs. 108 for 900 grams

% profit = $$\frac{{18}}{{90}} \times 100$$ = 20%
