Rs 1,250 in a particular year. Each shirt, if it had been sold at the mentioned price would have been possibly earned him a 25% profit.

Find the maximum possible number of shirts one could have bought during the festival season with an amount that is same as the profit earned by the shopkeeper in the entire year?Solution
Actual price of each shirt = Rs 100/125×1,250= Rs 1,000 Profit earned during non-festive season = Rs (1,250 – 1,000) × 50 = Rs 12,500 Profit earned during festival season = (1,100 – 1,000) × 50= Rs 5,000 Total profit = Rs 17,500 Cost of a shirt during festival season = Rs 1,100 Now, 17,500/1100 = 15.909 Maximum number of shirt that can be bought = 15
