    • Question

      A retailer claims that he is selling tomatoes at ₹30

      per kg, which cost him ₹32 per kg, but he gives only 800 g instead of 1000 g. What is the percentage of his profit? (Rounded off to two decimal places)
      A 16.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 17% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 16.15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 17.19% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The retailer sells 800 g of tomatoes for ₹30, so his effective selling price per kg is ₹30 ÷ 0.8 = ₹37.50. His cost price is ₹32 per kg. So, profit per kg = ₹37.50 - ₹32 = ₹5.50. Profit percentage = (5.50 ÷ 32) × 100 = 17.19%
