Question 127

A dishonest seller sells his grocery items using a false weight and thus gains 5% for a kilogram, he uses the weight of approximately ________

Solution

Let us assume that he uses x grams of weight instead of 1000gm.

Now, SP=CP*$$\frac{1000}{x}$$

$$\frac{SP}{CP}=\frac{1000}{X}$$

$$\frac{SP}{CP}-1=\frac{1000}{X}-1$$

$$\frac{5}{100}=\frac{1000}{X}-1$$

$$\frac{5}{100}+1=\frac{1000}{X}$$

$$\frac{105}{100}=\frac{1000}{X}$$

X=952.381
