Answer 1

Given :  A man bought goods worth Rs 16000. He sold half of the goods at 20% profit . profit of 25% on whole

To find : what profit % he should sell the remaining

Solution:

A man bought goods worth Rs 16000.

Half of good  = 16000/2 = Rs 8000

Sold at 20 % profit

20 % Profit = (20/100) 8000 = Rs 1600

Selling Price = 8000 + 1600 = Rs 9600

a profit of 25% on whole

=> 25 % profit = (25/100) 16000 = Rs 4000

Selling Price = 16000 + 4000 = 20000

Selling Price of remaining = 20000 - 9600  = Rs 10400

Cost Price of Remaining = 8000

Profit = 10400 - 8000 = Rs 2400

Profit % = (2400/8000) * 100  = 30 %

He should Sell the remaining at 30 % to make profit of 25% on whole
