Question

A trader sells rice at a profit of 20% and uses
weights which are 10% less than the correct
weight. The total gain earned by him is:
​

Answer 1

Total of 33.33% percent profit i believe

Plz check

Let Cp = Rs. 10 for 1kg

Sp = 12 rupees (20% profit)

But he sells only 900 g of rice at Rs. 12....

So, Cp for 0.9 kg = Rs. 9

Profit = Rs. 3

= 3 / 9 * 100

= 33.33%

Answer 2

solution:

Let CP of 1 gram = Rs 1

Now, 1 kg costs = Rs 1000 but as he sells only 900 gm, thus, CP = Rs 900

Further, he sells at markup of 20%, thus SP = Rs 1200

So, profit% = 300/900 * 100 = 33.33%

hope it's helpful maTe....
