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:

CP of 1 table = Rs.450

CP of 24 tables = 450 \times 24 = 10800450×24=10800

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

SP of 16 table = 16 \times 600 = 960016×600=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 = 3200400×8=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

CP

Profit

×100

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