Correct Answer: 61%
Explanation:
Let C.P.= Rs. 100.
Then, Profit = Rs.220,
S.P. = Rs.320.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs.320.
Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195
Required percentage = == 60.9 =~ 61%
Correct Answer: 880 kg
Correct Answer: 100
Correct Answer: 13.33
Correct Answer: Rs 120 per quintal
Correct Answer: Rs. 64
Explanation:
Given Loss = Rs. 40.4
We know loss = cost price - selling price
40.4 = CP - 35(15)
=> CP = 40.4 + 525
=> CP = Rs. 565.4
Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18
=> SP = 35(18) = 630
Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.
Correct Answer: 12% p.a.

% increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25
=> x = 12%
