Question

A dishonest dealer professes to sell
his goods at cost price, but he uses a
weight of 960 gm for the kg weight.
Find his gain percent.
(a) 2.8%
(b) 4%
(c) 4.16%
(d) 3%​

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of 1000g be x.Then cost price of 1 g is x/1000

Since he gave 960g instead of 1000g he made a profit of 40g i.e. 40x/1000

Profit%= 40x/1000x *100

= 4%
