solve it fast it is urgent​

Answer 1

Answer:

5.263%

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp of each gram of purse be rs 1.

therefore price of 1000 gram= rs 1000

price of 950 gram= rs 950

therefore profit = rs 50

gain %= (50/950)*100= 100/19=5.263%

Answer 2

A dishonest shopkeeper professes to sell purse at his cost price but uses a false weight of 950 gram for each kilogram.

Now,

1 kg = 1000 g

Weight = 950 g

According to question, we have to find the gain percent.

As, weight is 950 g and 1 kg contains 1000 g.

So,

Gain = (1000 - 950) g

=> 50 g

Now,

Gain% = $\sf{\bold{\dfrac{gain}{weight}\:\times\:100}}$

Substitute the known values in above formula

=> $\sf{\dfrac{50}{950}}\:\times\:100$

=> $\sf{0.0526\:\times\:100}$

=> $\sf{5.26}$%

∴ Gain percentage is 5.26%
