Q324: Profit % question 10% less buy, 10% more sell ?
Correct Answer: (C) 22.22%
Assume originally: Bought 100 items for Rs.100 So, Cost Price CP per item = Rs.1 Now buys 10% less: 10% less than 100 = 90 items Still spends Rs.100 So new CP per item:CP= 100/90 Now sells 10% more: 10% more than 100 = 110 items Assume selling rate is Rs.1 per item.So total Selling Price:SP=110×1=110 Profit:Profit=SP−CP=110−100=10 Profit percentage formula:Profit %= Profit/ Cost Price ×100Substitute values:10/100×100=10% That approach looks tempting, but it ignores that buying fewer changes the cost per item. The correct combined effect is:Profit %= 110/90−1 ×100 110/90−1 ×100=left frac 2
