Question

a dishonest shopkeeper sell sugar at cost price but makes 20% profit by using quality weights he decided to give a discount to attract more customers what percent of the discount should he offered to make 12% profit ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Centre - 100 or 1000

RHS - Profit or Loss

LHS - Weight or Length or any other quantity

In the given question

Let as assume the quantity be 1000 ( Centre)

Profit = 30% of 1000 = 1300 ( RHS)

Weight = 800 ( LHS)

800 1000 1300

Now

LHS = CP

RHS = SP

Profit = SP - CP = 1300 - 800 = 500

Profit % = Profit x 100 / CP

Profit % = 500 x 100 / 800

Profit % = 62.5%
