Question

a retailer buys 150 kilograms of papper at 400 rupees a Kilogram and sells it at a profit of 60 rupees a Kilogram.what is the total amount spent in buying. what is the total amount to got .what is the total profit. what is the profit percent.

Answer 1

total cost price is 150 * 400
= 60000 rupees

now profit on each kilogram of paper is rupees 60,
selling price of each kilogram of paper is 400 + 60
= 460 rupees

selling price of 150 kgs of paper,
150 * 460
= 69000 rupees

therefore ,
profit = sp - cp
= 69000 - 60000
= 9000 rupees

profit percentage = 9000/60000 * 100%
= 15 %
