Question

a shopkeeper purchased 200 bulbs for rs 10 each . However 5 bulbs were fused and had to be thrown away . the remaining were sold at rs 12 each . find the gain or loss %

Answer 1

no. of bulb purchased= 200
cost of each bulb= rs 10
so cost price = 200*10
=2000rs
no. of fused bulb= 5
= 200-5
= 195
selling price = 195*12
= 2340 rs
profit = selling price - cost price
= 2340 - 2000
= 340 rs
profit%= profit/cost price*100
=340/2000*100
=17%

Answer 2
