Back to paper

A dealer sells rice at a profit of 15% and uses a weight that is 15% less than the actual weight. Find his percentage gain.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 35.3%.

    CP          :          SP
   100         :         115
    85          :        100

CP : SP = 17 : 23

Profit % = (23−17)17×100\frac{(23-17)}{17}\times100

Profit % = 600/17 = 35.29% ≈ 35.3%
