Answer 1

Answer:

profit =5.26%

Explanation:

here he is selling 950 gm for 1000gm cost price

selling price will be for 1000gm

but cost price he bears will be for 950 gm

profit =(sp-cp)/cp. *100

• profit =(1000-950)/950 *100
• =50/950 *100
• 5.26%

method 2

sp of 950gm=cp of 1000gm

sp*950=cp*1000

sp=1000/950 cp

sp=20/19 cp

sp= (1+1/19) cp

here in above eq, 1 will be his actual cp

1/19 will be his profit

(1/19)*100=5.26%
