Correct Answer: 100/7%
Explanation:
When profit is calculated on Marked Price (M.P) then,
Let M.P = 100
=> C.P = 100 - 30 = 70
But S.P = Rs. 80 as he gave 20% discount,
Now, Actual Profit =
= 100/7 %
Correct Answer: 12.5 %
Explanation:
10% profit at half plot = 600000/2 x 10/100 = Rs. 30,000
15% profit at remaining half plot = 600000/2 x 15/100 = Rs. 45,000
Now, total profit = 30000 + 45000 = 75000
Profit % = 75000/600000 x 100 = 12.5 %
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Let the list price be Rs.100.
Therefore, the retailer is buying the products at Rs.60 and selling it to the customer at Rs.75, earning a profit of Rs.15.

Correct Answer: Rs. 8/kg
Explanation:
Let the selling price of the rice = Rs.P/kg
Now, according to the question,
1040 - 100p = 30p
=> p = 8/kg
Hence, the selling price of the rice = Rs. 8/kg
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Let the total amount be 200 {L.C.M of 40 and 50}
Chacobar C.P. = 200/50 = 4
Fivestar C.P = 200/40 = 5
Remaining Money after petrol = [200 - 200×10%] = 180
Remaining money after buying fivestars = [180 - 20×5] = 80
So number of Chacobar she can buy = 80/4 = 20
Correct Answer: Rs. 16.30
Explanation:
C.P. of 50 kg wheat = (30 * 11.50 + 20 * 14.25) = Rs. 630.

Profit when article sold at Rs. 3265 = 3265 - 2720 = 545
Hence, Profit% = Gain x 100/cost price
=> P% = 545 x 100/2720
=> P% = 20%
Correct Answer: Rs. 3250
Explanation:
