Question

a shopkeeper brought 36 plates for 35 rupees each. he sold 12 of them at 25 rupees each, four plates were broken. the rest were sold at 30 rupees each. find the gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer:

Shopkeeper had a loss of 28.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

36 for 35 rupees= 1260

12 plates sold for 25 = 300

36 plates - 12 plates = 24 plates

4 plate broken so 20 plates

20 plates sold for 30 rupees = 600

300 rupee plus 600 rupee = 900 rupee

900 divided by 1260 = 0.71

1-0.71= 0.2857

in percentage its 28.57%

so the shopkeeper had a loss of 28.57%
