    Question

    A shopkeeper purchased 70 kg of onions for ₹560 and sold the whole lot at the rate of ₹10 per kg. What will be his gain percentage?

    A.

    28%

    B.

    17.5%

    C.

    25%

    D.

    20%

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Cost price (C.P.) of 70 kg of onions = ₹560

    Selling price (S.P.) per kg = ₹10

    Total selling price for 70 kg = 70 × 10 = ₹700

    Formula Used:

    Gain Percentage = GainCost Price×100\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100

    Gain = Selling Price − Cost Price

    Solution:

    First, calculate the gain:

    Gain = 700 – 560 = 140

    Gain Percentage = 140560×100\frac{140}{560} \times 100​ = 25%
