Answer 2

Given :

• A shop keeper purchased 200 bulbs for ₹10 each. However 5 bulbs were fused and put them in to scrap. The remaining were sold at ₹12 each .

To find :

• Gain or Loss percent

Formula used :

$\rm \: Percent \: Profit = \large \red{\frac{Profit}{C . P}{× 100}$

Solution :

Bulbs purchased : 200 .

Each bulb cost : 10 .

Total C. P = 200 × 10 = 2000

5 bulbs were fused .

Hence, number of bulbs left = 200 - 5 = 195

These were sold at Rs. 12 each .

The SP of 195 bulbs = 195 x 12 = Rs 2340

He obviously made a profit

Now,

SP > CP

Profit = ₹2340 - ₹2000 = ₹ 340

On 2000, the profit is 340 .

$\rm \: Profit = \: \large \frac{340}{2000} \small\times 100 \: \% = \red{17\%}$

Hence , the profit is 17% .
