Question

A shopkeeper bought 10 kg of tomatoes for Rs 240 and sold 7 kg of it for Rs 210. If

he sold the remaining quantity of tomatoes at the rate of cost price, find his gain
or loss percent.

Answer 1

he bought 10kg for 240Rs

cost price of 1kg= 240/10=24Rs

he sells 7kg for a gain of 210Rs

he sells the remaining 3kg of water price of 24Rs per kg = 3*24=72Rs

total gain: 210+72 = 282Rs

% gain: [(282-240)/240]*100=17.5%

he won a % of 17.5%
