Answer 1

Answer:

5% profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price at 5% loss = Rs. (114×100)/95

= Rs. 120

So, percecentage of profit of shopkeeper if nuts are sold at Rs. 126 = (126-120)×100/120

= 5%

Answer 2

Profit % would be 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price = Rs. 114 per kg

Loss% = 5%

So, Cost price would be

$\dfrac{100}{100-5}\times 114\\\\=\dfrac{100}{95}\times 114\\\\=Rs.\ 120$

If the selling price = Rs. 126

So, Profit would be

$SP-CP\\\\=126-120\\\\=6$

So, Profit % would be

$\dfrac{6}{120}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1}{20}\times 100\\\\=5\%$

Hence, Profit % would be 5%.
