Answer:

may be my answer helps you

Let the cost price be Rs100

Then, Marked Price to get 30 %profit =Rs130

Let x goods be there, then total C.P. =100x

When he sells

2

1

the of the goods at Rs130, selling price will be for this amount of goods will be S.P.1=

2

1

×130×x=Rs65x

Now, Selling price of remaining

4

x

goods is (100−15)=85 % of Rs130=

100

85

×130=Rs110.50

Selling price will be for this amount of goods will be S.P.2=

4

1

×110.50×x=Rs27.625x

And Selling price of last

x

goods is (100−30)=70 % of Rs130=

100

70

×130=Rs91

Selling price will be for this amount of goods will be S.P.3=

4

×91×x=Rs22.75x

So, Total S.P. =Rs65x+Rs27.625x+Rs22.75=Rs115.375x

Profit % on the whole transaction =

C.P.

S.P−C.P.

×100=

100x

115.375x−100x

×100=15
