Rice is available at 50/kg. If a shopkeeper
allows 10% discount then how much kg
of rice will be purchased for 202.50 ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

For example

Step-by-step explanation:

Total quantity = 80 kg

cost of 80 kg rice = 80*90 =7200

He got 1 kg extra rice on the purchase of 20 kg rice. So, he got 4 kg of extra rice on

the purchase of 80 kg rice. so total quantity of rice = 80+4 = 84 kg

cost price of 84 kg rice is = 7200

selling price of 84 kg rice is = 84*100= 8400

Profit = 8400 - 7200 = 1200

profit % = profit *100/ cost price

profit % = 1200*100/7200 = 1200/72 = 100/6 = 50/3=16^2/3 %
