A shopkeeper sold an article for Rs 2564.36. Approximately what was his profit percent if the cost price of the article was Rs 2400

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the S.P = 100
then C.P. = 25

Profit = 75

Profit% = 75/25 * 100 = 3005

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Gain % = (164.36*100/2400) = 6.84 % = 7% approx

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea.
Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150.
Selling price = Rs. (8 x 21) = Rs. 168.
Profit = 168 - 150 = 18

So, Profit % = (18/150) * 100 = 12%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the Cost Price of 1 item = Re. 1
Cost Price of 16 items = 16
Selling Price of 16 items = 12

Loss = 16 - 12 = Rs 4

Loss % = (4/16)* 100 = 25%

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let original Cost price is x
Its Selling price = 105/100 * x = 21x/20
New Cost price = 95/100 * x = 19x/20
New Selling price = 110/100 * 19x/20 = 209x/200
[(21x/20) - (209x/200)] = 1

=> x = 200
