Marks: +1, -0

A shopkeeper listed the price of goods at 30% above the cost price. He sells half the stock at this price, one fourth of the stock at a discount of 15% and the remaining at 30% discount. His overall profit is

1 5 $\frac{3}{8}$ %
15%
1 5 $\frac{3}{5}$ %
1 5 $\frac{2}{3}$ %

Solution:

(a) CP. of articles 100 (let)

Marked price of articles

= \frac{100 \times 130}{100} = 130

S.P. of half of articles

= \frac{130}{2} 565

S.P of one-fourth of articles at 15%

= \frac{65}{2} \times \frac{70}{100} =

= Rs. 27.625

S.P of remaining articles

= \frac{65}{2} \times \frac{70}{100} =

Rs. 22.75

Total S.P.(65 + 27.625 + 22.75)

115.375

Profit % = 15.375%= 15

\frac{3}{8}

%
