Question:

A man bought 75 kg rice and added 33.33% impurities to it. He sold the mixture at a rate of the cost price. Find his profit percent.

Options:

66.67%

14.28%

33.33%

20%

Correct Answer:

33.33%

Explanation:

75 kg rice after impurities = 75 kg + 75 × \(\frac{1}{3}\)

                                      = 100 kg

Profit = \(\frac{100 - 75}{75}\) × 100 = 33.33%
