Answer 1

Answer:

17.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

Shopkeeper bought 550 toy at rate of 30 paisa each

hence,

total amount spent on toy= 550*30 = 16500 paisa = 165 Rs.

He spent 15 Rs. on transport

Now total spend amount = 165+15 = 180 Rs.

He lost 20 toys in transportation ,

Now he have = 550-20= 530 toys

Selling price = 2 Rs for 5 toys

=> 1 toy price = 2/5 Rs.

Hence, 530 toys price = 530 ×$\frac{2}{5}$

=> 212 Rs.

Gain / Profit = 212-180 = 32 Rs.

Gain percent = $\frac{32}{180}$* 100

=> 17.77 %
