Question

A shpokeeper purchased 200 bulbs for 10 rs each .However, tbulbs were fused and had to be thrown away. The remaining were sold at 12 rulees each. What will be the percentage profit

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of bulbs purchased at Rs. 10 = 200

Purchase price = 200 × 10

= Rs. 2000

If 5 bulbs were defective, remaining bulbs = 195

Sale price = 12

Sale price of 195 bulbs = 195×12

= Rs. 2340

Profit = sale price – purchase price

= 2340 – 2000

= 2340 – 2000= Rs. 340

profit%=profit/purchase price*100

=340/2000×100

=34/2

=17%

since,

The gain percent is = 17%
