Answer 2

20% is the loss if a shopkeeper sells the goods at 44%loss on cost price but uses 30%less weight

Given:

A shopkeeper sells the goods at 44%loss on cost price

Uses 30%less weight

To Find:

percentage of profit or loss

Solution:

Assume that 100C is the cost price

Shopkeeper sells the goods at 44%loss

Hence Loss = (44/100)100C = 44C

Selling Price = 100C - 44C  = 56C  

uses 30%less weight

Actual Cost Price = 100C - (30/100)100C  = 70C

Actual Cost Price = 70C

Actual Selling Price = 56C

Actual Loss = 70C - 56C = 14C

Loss % = (14C/70C) * 100 = 20%

Hence 20% is the loss
