Question
A merchant bought 300 goods at Rs. 50 each. He sold a
part at a 20% profit and the rest at a 10% loss. If his overall profit is 4%, how many goods did he sell at a 20% profit?Solution
ATQ, Cost price of 300 goods = 300 × 50 = Rs. 15000 Selling price of 300 goods = 1.04 × 15000 = Rs. 15600 Let number of goods sold at a 20% profit be ‘x’ Then, goods sold at 10% loss = (300 – x) So, 1.20 × 50 × x + 0.90 × 50 × (300 – x) = 15600 Or, 1.2x + 270 – 0.9x = 15600 / 50 = 312 Or, 0.3x = 42 Or, x = 140
