A publisher printed 2000 copies of a book at a cost of Rs. 70,000. He distributes 400 copies free as specimen copies. He gave 30% discount on printed price and the printed price of each book is Rs. 75. What is his gain or loss percentage?

Answer :-

According to question,

CP of 2000 books are = Rs. 70,000

CP of 1 book is =70000/2000=Rs.35

Marked Price of 1 book = Rs. 75

Discount = 30%

Selling Price of 1 book = Rs. 52.5

He distribute 400 books free

∴ SP of 1600 books = 52.5×1600 = Rs. 84000

Profit% =14000/70000×100
