SSC GD Constable (English) - 16 Jan 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q50

Reeta says that she sells her goods at the cost price. If she uses 80 gram weight instead of 100 gram, then what is her profit percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 25%.

False weight = 80

True weight = 100

Profit percentage = (True weight - False weight)/False weight × 100

= (100 - 80)/80 × 100

= 20/80 × 100

= 25%
