Back to paper

A shopkeeper sells his goods at 10 percent loss on cost price but uses 30 percent less weight. What is his profit?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.  284728\frac{4}{7} percent.

Profit% = (less weight - loss%)/(100 - less weight%) × 100

Profit% = (30 - 10)/(100 - 30) × 100

Profit% = 20/70 × 100

Profit% = 28.57 or 284728\frac{4}{7}
