A dishonest shopkeeper promises
A dishonest shopkeeper promises to sell his goods at cost price. However, he uses a weight that actually weighs 46% less than what is written on it. Find his profit percentage.
एक बेईमान दुकानदार अपने सामान को क्रय मूल्य पर बेचने का दावा करता है। हालाँकि, वह एक ऐसे बाट का उपयोग करता है जिसका वजन वास्तव में उस पर लिखे वजन से 46% कम है। उसका लाभ प्रतिशत ज्ञात कीजिए।
Detailed Solution & Logic
\(85\frac{5}{27} \) %
Marked weight = 100 units
Actual weight = 100 − 46 = 54 units
Cost of 54 units = ₹54
Selling price = ₹100
Profit = SP − CP = 100 − 54 = 46
Profit % = $\frac{46}{54} \times 100 = \frac{4600}{54} $
Answer = $ 85\frac{5}{27}$ %
