Answer 2

A shopkeeper profit  is 11.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A shopkeeper buys some no. of articles of at  a rate of 2 articles for rs.3.

Purchased some other articles at a rate of 4 articles of Rs. 3.

Sold all articles at a rate of 4 articles of rs. 5.

To Find:

A shopkeeper profit or loss percent.

Solution:

Let the shopkeeper  buys  p articles  of both type articles.

As given, a shopkeeper buys some no. of articles of at  a rate of 2 articles for rs.3.

Price of  2 articles= Rs.3

Price of 1 article =  Rs.1.5

Price of particle =1.5 p.

As given,purchased some other articles at a rate of 4 articles of Rs. 3.

Price of  4 articles= Rs.3

Price of 1 article =  Rs.0.75

Price of particle =0.75 p.

Total Cost Price  $=1.5p+0.75p =2.25p$

Total Selling Price of 2p article  $=(2p)(1.25)$

                                                     $=2.5p$

 Profit  $= 2.5p-2.25p$

             $=0.25p$

% Profit  $=\frac{0.25p}{2.25p} \times100$

               $=11.11 \%$

Thus, a shopkeeper profit  is 11.11%.
