Question

Arjun needed 1000g of rice, the grocery shop owner knows that the man will ask him for a discount, so he agrees to give him 15% discount, also, the shop owner steals some amount of the rice such that he got net 20% profit. The shop owner himself bought the rice 20% below the MRP. How much rice did Arjun get in grams?​

Answer 1

let suppose

1000 gram = 1000 MRP rs

then shopkeeper buy this 1000 gm rice

20% less mrp rs

hence he brought it

hence he brought it =1000×80/100

hence he brought it =1000×80/100=800 rupees

now shopkeeper sold by 15% of discount on MRP 1000 rupees to Arjun

hence, Arjun get by

= 1000 × 85/100

= 1000 × 85/100= 850

in this case shopkeeper got 50 rupees profit

but he steals some amount of rice he get 20% profit

that is mean rice of 800 rupees

shopkeeper want to sold by 20% profit

= 800×120/100

= 800×120/100= 960

shopkeeper should sold it by 960 rupees

but before saling he steal some rice

and he sold 850 rupees

but really he steal rice =

960-850=110

hence he steal 110 rupeesof rice

but we supposed 1000gm = 1000rupees

but we supposed 1000gm = 1000rupees That is mean

110 rupees = 110 gm

he steal 110 gm of rice hence

arjun get

1000gm - 110gm = 890gm of rice
