18 bundles at the rate of 360 per bundle and rest of at the 310 per bundle. Find his profit or loss
percent in the whole transaction.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost price of bundles is

=> 50×350 + 250(transportation) + 125(helper)

=> 17500+375

=> 17875 RS

now selling price is

22×380+18×360+310×(50-22+18)

=> 8360+6489+3100

=> 17949 rs

gain of rs= 17949-17875

=> 74 RS

=> % gain => 74/17875×100

=> 7400/17875 %

=> 0.41 %

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is Profit % = 2.75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Notebooks purchased by wholesaler = 50

Rate of Per bundle = rs. 350

For transportation = rs. 250

Payment for helper = rs. 125

So, Total money spent by the saler = ( 50×350)+250+125.

= rs. 17875

Total money saler got by selling the bundle of notebooks =

= [ ( 22×380 ) + ( 18×360 ) + ( 10×310 ) ]

= [ 8360+6480+3100 ]

=rs. 17940

So, Profit = selling price - cost price

= 17940 - 17875

= rs. 65.

Then, Profit % = Profit / cp ×100%

= 65/17875 × 100%

= 2.75%.
