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 his gain or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

18.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

24 × 450 = 10800

16 × 600 = 9600

remaining = 24 - 16 = 8 tables

8 × 400 = 3200

total sales = 9600 + 3200 = 12800

12800/10800 = 1.1851851852

which represents a gain of 18.5%
