A dishonest shopkeeper, at the time of selling and purchasing, weighs 10% less and 20% more per kilogram respectively. Find the percentage profit earned by treachery. (Assuming he sells at Cost Price)

  • 130%
  • 220%
  • 325%
  • 433.33%
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
While purchasing he would take 1200 grams for the price of 1000 grams. While selling he would sell 900 grams for the price of 1000 grams.
Since, CP = SP
The profit earned by him,
Goods Left/Goods sold = (300 *100)/900 = 33.33%.
