Sohan sells sugar at the cost price but uses false weights, thus gaining 28% profit. How many grams of sugar is he giving for 3.2 kg of sugar?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2500.
Given that
Sohan sells sugar at the cost price but uses false weights, thus gaining 28% profit
According to the question
The fraction value of 28% = 28/100 = 7/25
Let the cost price of sugar be 25 units
the selling price of sugar = 25 + 7 = 32 units
Now, 32 units = 3.2 kg = 3200 grams
⇒ 1 unit = 100 grams
⇒ 25 units = 2500 grams
Hence, He sells the original quantity of sugar is 2500 grams
