Answer» Total quantity RATE =(12 * 100 + 15 * 80 + 20 * 60) = 3600 For first 2 quantity, (12 * 100) + (15 * 80) = 2400 But he GETS 20% profit = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 So the third quantity = 3600 – 2880 = 720 Actual third quantity rate = 20 * 60 = 1200 Loss suffered = (1200 - 720) / 1200 = 480/1200 = 40 %. Total quantity rate =(12 * 100 + 15 * 80 + 20 * 60) = 3600 For first 2 quantity, (12 * 100) + (15 * 80) = 2400 But he gets 20% profit = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 So the third quantity = 3600 – 2880 = 720 Actual third quantity rate = 20 * 60 = 1200 Loss suffered = (1200 - 720) / 1200 = 480/1200 = 40 %. |
