Answer:
600/17
Step-by-step explanation:
let 1kg for Rs 100
Actual amount sold is 850gm for Rs100 (profit 25%)
Thus CP = 85
When he pretends to sell it at a 5%loss then
SP = 95
profit% = ((95-85)/85)*100 = 200/17
When he pretends to sell it at 5% profit
SP = 105
profit% = ((105-85)/85)*100 = 400/17
Thus m+n = 200/17 + 400/17
ANSWER 600/17
