Answer 1

Answer:

29%

Step-by-step explanation:

overall profit 5400x13%= rupee702

sold 2/3rd = 5400x2/3= rupee3600

profit gained from 3600= 3600x5%= rupee180

remaining profit to gain = 702-180= rupee522

remaining article = 5400-3600= rupee1800

profit sell for remaining= 522/1800x100= 29%

Answer 2

Answer:

Given

Articles value = Rs. 5400

He sold 2/3 rd of them = at 5% profit

He has sold 1/3 rd of them = at ? profit

To gain 13% profit

So,

5400 at = 13% =0.13

Total profit = Rs. 702

2/3 rd of 5400 = 3600 at = 5% = 0.05

Profit he get from 2/3 rd = Rs. 180

Total profit = Profit gain — Profit req.

702 = 180 - Profit required

Profit required  = Rs. 522

For 1/3rd of 5400 he needs to get 522 profit

Hence,

Percentage = 522 / 1800 × 100

Percentage = 0.29 × 100

Percentage = 29

He sold remaining article at 29% of profit to gain 13% of overall profit
