LET,

=> THE COST PRICE OF THAT ARTICLE FOR 1 KG IS 100X

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

MAN IS SAYING THAT ,

=> HE IS SELLING IT AT 6% LOSS

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

=> LOSS = 6% OF 100X

=> LOSS = 6/100 * 100X

=> LOSS = 6X

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

THE SELLING PRICE IS NOW

=> COST PRICE - LOSS

=> 100X - 6X

=> 94X

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

BUT ,

=> HE IS SELLING 900G ARTICLE

=> COST PRICE FOR 900G ARTICLE :

=> 900 * 100 X / 1000

=> 90X RS

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

=> BUT HE IS SELLING IT FOR 94 X RS

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

SO ,

=> PROFIT = SELLING PRICE - COST PRICE

=> PROFIT = 94X - 90X

=> PROFIT = 4X

⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕

=> PROFIT % = PROFIT * 100 / COST PRICE

=> PROFIT % = 4X * 100 / 90X

=> PROFIT % = 40 / 9

=> PROFIT % = 4.4%
