A dishonest shopkeeper promises to sell his goods at cost price. However, he uses a weight that actually weighs 32% less than what is written on it. Find his profit percentage.

Correct option is C

Given:

Shopkeeper sells at cost price per unit but uses a weight that is 32% less than marked

=> actual weight given = 68% of marked

Formula Used:

When selling at marked cost per unit but giving x% less quantity,

profit % = $$\frac{x}{100-x}\times 100$$​​

Solution:

Profit% = $$\frac{32}{100 - 32}\times 100$$​​

= $$\frac{32}{68}\times 100$$​​

= $$47\frac1{17}$$​%
