A dishonest shopkeeper promises to sell his goods at cost price. However, he uses a weight that actually weighs 37% less than what is written on it. Find his profit percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 58466346\over63%.

He gives only 63% of the actual weight but charges for the full.

Profit% = 100–6363100 – 63\over63 × 100

⇒ 376337\over63 × 100 = 58466346\over63%
