Detailed Solution for Test: Profit & Loss- 3 - Question 6

A shopkeeper professes to sell his articles at CP but gives only N grams in the place of 1000 gm. If his profit percentage is 100%, what is the value of N?

Detailed Solution for Test: Profit & Loss- 3 - Question 9

B
(error÷1000-error)×100=1
0
(X/1000-x)×100= 100
100x = 100×(1000-x)

100x = 100000-100x

200x = 100000

X = 100000/200

X = 500
