Question
A trader sells pulses at a 32% profit and uses weights
20% less than the actual measure. Find his gain percentage.Solution
 In both cases, he is earning profit.  1st case, Profit% = 32%  2nd case, 20% less than actual measure so Profit% = 20%  (S.P/C. P) = (132/100) × (100/80) = 33/20 SO, S.P = 33x and C.P = 20x  Profit = (33x - 20x) = 13x Overall Profit% = (13x)/(20x) x 100 = 65%.
