Question

Find the actual profit percentage of a milk vendor, if he sells milk using a faulty measure which reads 750 ml as 1000 ml. Select one:

a. 25%

b. 40%

c. 12%

d. 33%

Answer 1

Answer: 33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Amount of milk sold with profit = 1000 - 750 = 250ml

The profit form 250ml = (250/750) * 100 = 33%

Method 2:

Profit+ real = (Amount of milk with faulty measure / Real amount of milk ) * 100

= (1000 / 750) * 100 = 133%

Therefore profit = 133 - 100 = 33%
