A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is ?

A. No profit, no loss

B. 5%

C. 8%

D. 10%

Answer : B. 5%

Explanation:

Cost Price (C.P) of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36)
= Rs. (520 + 1080)
= Rs. 1600.

Selling Price (S.P) of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 x 30)
= Rs. 1680.

Gain = ( 80 / 1600 ) x 100 %
= 5%.

In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A. 30%

B.70%

C. 100%

D. 250%

Answer : B .70%

Explanation:

Let Cost Price (C.P) = Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs. 320, Selling Price (S.P) = Rs. 420.

New Cost Price (C.P) = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New Selling Price (S.P) = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 – 125) = Rs. 295.

Required Percentage = ( (295/420) x 100 )%

= 70% (approximately).

The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is ?

A. 15

B. 16

C. 18

D. 25

Answer : B . 16

Explanation:

Let Cost Price of each article be Re. 1
Cost Price of x articles = Rs. x.
Selling Price of x articles = Rs. 20.
Profit = Rs. (20 – x).

So {(20 – x) / x} x 100 = 25
x = 16

Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is ?

A. 447%

B. 5511%

C. 10 %

D. 12 %

Answer : B . 5511%

Explanation:

Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (4700 + 800) = Rs. 5500.

Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 5800.

Gain = (S.P.) – (C.P.)

= Rs. 300.

Gain % = (300/5500) x 100%

= 5511%
