Question #2
A dishonest dealer sells goods at 10% profit but uses a weight of 800 g for 1 kg. Find his overall profit percent.
A. 35%
B. 32.5%
C. 30%
D. 37.5%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
CP per g = 1, SP per g = 1.1. For 800 g, CP=800, SP=1000×1.1? Actually, he sells 800 g as 1 kg, so SP for 800 g = price of 1 kg at 10% profit = 1.1 times CP of 1 kg. Let CP of 1 kg = 1000, SP=1100. But he gives only 800 g, so CP=800, SP=1100. Profit = 300, % = (300/800)×100 = 37.5%.
