Answer»

The grocer buys rice at m Rs/Kg

Then he sells at Rs (110/100)m PER 80/100 Kg Or, at Rs. 110 m /100 x (100/80) per kg = 11 m / 8 per kg

PROFIT = 11m/8 â€“ m = 3m/8

Profit percentage = (3m/8) / m x (100) = 300/8 = 37.5%.

The grocer buys rice at m Rs/Kg

Then he sells at Rs (110/100)m per 80/100 Kg Or, at Rs. 110 m /100 x (100/80) per kg = 11 m / 8 per kg

Profit = 11m/8 â€“ m = 3m/8

Profit percentage = (3m/8) / m x (100) = 300/8 = 37.5%.
