Question

Aakrity bought a TV set in China paying 15000 Chinese Yuan. She paid 15% as

a transportation charge and 120% as a custom duty to bring the TV in Nepal. If
she sold the TV to his friend for Rs. 782718.75, find her profit percent. (1 Chinese
Yuan- Rs. 16.5)

Answer 1

To find Aakrity's profit percent, we need to calculate her total cost and total selling price.

1. Transportation charge: 15% of 15000 Chinese Yuan = 0.15 * 15000 = 2250 Chinese Yuan.

2. Custom duty: 120% of 15000 Chinese Yuan = 1.20 * 15000 = 18000 Chinese Yuan.

3. Total cost in Chinese Yuan = TV cost + Transportation charge + Custom duty = 15000 + 2250 + 18000 = 35250 Chinese Yuan.

4. Convert total cost to Nepalese Rupees: 35250 Chinese Yuan * 16.5 Rs./1 Yuan = Rs. 581625.

Now, let's calculate the profit:

Profit = Selling price - Total cost = 782718.75 - 581625 = Rs. 201093.75.

Finally, the profit percentage can be calculated as follows:

Profit percentage = (Profit / Total cost) * 100

Profit percentage = (201093.75 / 581625) * 100 ≈ 34.57%

Aakrity's profit percent is approximately 34.57%.
