Question

goods purchased for Rs 1500. If one fifth of goods sold at a profit of 5% and remaining four fifth of the goods at profit of 10% , find the profit percentage

Answer 1

Answer:

9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 1/5 of 1500 = 300
• P% = 5%

So SP = CP x (100 + p%)/100

          = 300 x 105/100 = 315.

• Again 4/5 of 1500 = 1200
• p% = 10%

So SP = 1200 x 110/100 = 1320.

Total SP = 315 + 1320 = 1635

Profit = 1635 - 1500 = 135.

• So Profit% = 135/1500 x 100 = 9%.
