Question

A trader claims to sell his goods at cost price. But, he gives only 900 g for every kg. Find the profit percentage.
A. `11.(1)/(9)%`
B. `9.(1)/(11)%`
C. `10%`
D. `12.(2)/(3)%`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
Let the cost price be Rs 10000x`//`kg.
The selling price of 900 g= The cost price of 1000g
`:. `The selling price of 900 g= Rs 1000 x
the cost price of 900 g `=(900)/(1000) (Rs 1000x) =Rs 900x `
Profit in selling 900 g = Rs 100 x.
Profit % = `(100 x)/(900x) (100%) =11.(1)/(9)%`
