Question

A dishonest dealer professes to sell his goods at cost

price but uses a weight of 960 gms instead of a kg

weight. Find his gain%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This can be solved easily….

The actual weight is given as 1kg which we take in grams

1kg=1000g

So the actual weight is 1000g

But the seller gives only 900g

Consider 1g=1rupee

So 1000g=1000Rs

He gives only 900gms so he spent only 900 rs

But he claims to give 1000gms

So CP=900

SP=1000

Hence profit=100 rs

Profit %=(profit/CP) *100

=(100/900)*100

=11.11%
