A shopkeeper professes to sell his goods at cost price but uses a 750 gram weight instead of 1 kilogram. What is his gain percentage?
A33
B35.3
C30.3
D33.33 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 33.33 — The answer is 33.33 percent.
Explanation
★The answer is 33.33 percent.
★The seller gives 750 grams while charging for 1000 grams.
★So he keeps back 250 grams on each kilogram.
★His gain is 250 divided by 750, times 100.
★That equals about 33.33 percent.
★So the shopkeeper's gain is 33.33 percent.
★So the answer is 33.33 percent.
