Question

In a furniture shop, 24 tables were bought at the rate of ` 450 per table. The shopkeeper sold 16 of them at the rate of ` 600 per table and the remaining at the rate of 400 per table. Find her gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer:

18.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of 1 table = Rs.450

CP of 24 tables = $450 \times 24 = 10800$

The shopkeeper sold 16 of them at the rate of ` 600 per table

SP of 16 table = $16 \times 600 = 9600$

Remaining tables = 24 - 16 = 8

The shopkeeper sold remaining tables at rate of rs . 400 per table

SP of 8 tables = $400 \times 8 = 3200$

SP of 24 tables = 9600+3200=12800

SP > CP

So, profit

Profit = SP - CP = Rs.12800 - Rs. 10800 = Rs. 2000

Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100$

Profit % = $\frac{2000}{10800} \times 100$

Profit % = $18.51 \%$

Her gain % is 18.51%
