Question

A tea merchant sells it at a loss of 6% but uses a weight of 900 gram instead of 1 kg find actual gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cp of 1 kg =100

cp of 1800g=180

loss=6%

so loss for selling 2000g

6%=loss/200×100

loss=12

hence sp of 1800g= 188

now profit%=8/180×100. (since188-180=8)

profit%= 4.45%(approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

The trader professes to sell his goods at a loss of 6%.

Therefore, Selling Price = (100 - 6)% of Cost Price

or SP = 0.92CP

But, when he uses weights that measure only 900 grams while he claims to measure 1 kg.

Hence, CP of 900gms = 0.90 * Original CP

So, he is selling goods worth 0.90CP at 0.92CP

Therefore, he makes a profit of 0.02 CP on his cost of 0.9 CP

Profit % =

i.e.,

or 2.22%
