Question

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

Answer 1

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)
