Question

Q.4. A shopkeeper bought 18 sets of kurthas at the rate of Rs.1000 each. If 3 sets of kurthas were damaged and the remaining sets of kurthas were sold at the rate of Rs. 1250. Find the profit or loss of the shopkeeper. ​

Answer 1

Rs 750

Explanation:

Given, No. of kurtas: 18, Each with CP = Rs 1000.

So, SP of 18 kurtas: 18*1000 = Rs. 18000

Also, 3 sets of kurtas were damaged.

Therefore, Remaining kurtas: 18-3 = 15. SP of each: Rs 1250.

SP of 15 kurtas: 15*1250 = Rs. 18750

So, Clearly SP>CP, Profit.

We know Profit= SP-CP

= 18750-18000 = Rs 750
