Practicing Success
A dealer bought some toys for Rs.1800. He sold 40% of these at a loss of 15% and 33\(\frac{1}{3}\)% of the remaining toys at 20% profit. At what percent profit should he sell the remaining toys to earn an overall profit of 10%? |
20% 30% 24% 25% |
30% |
A dealer wants to earn 10% profit on all toys Assume A dealer has 10 toys and Cost is Rs. 1 for each. Now 1st ⇒ 10 × 40% = 4 toys 2nd ⇒ Remaining × 33\(\frac{1}{3}\)% = 6 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 2 toys 3rd ⇒ Rest toys = 10 - 4 -2 = 4 ATQ, 4 × (-15)% + 2 × (+20%) + 4 × (+x%) = 10 × 10% -60% + 40% + 4x% = 100% 4x% = 120% x = 30 |
