Question:

A dishonest shopkeeper sells article at cost price but he uses a false weight of 900 grams in place of 1kg. Find the profit percentage during this transaction.

Options:

11.11%

13.11%

11.20%

17.20%

Correct Answer:

11.11%

Explanation:

Let the price of 1000 gm = 100

Cost price of 900 gm = Rs. 90

Selling price of 900 gm = 100

Profit % = \(\frac{100-90}{90}\) × 100 = 11.11%
