The overall profit percent of Priti is 3.33%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Priti sells 1/3-rd of the toys at a profit of 10%
1/3-rd of the left toys at a loss of 10%
The rest at a profit of 5%.
To Find: The overall loss or profit percent of Priti.
Formula Used:
Selling Price= Cost Price x(100+Profit%)/100
Selling Price= Cost Price x(100-Loss%)/100
%Profit =( Profit /Cost Price) x 100
Solution:
Let the Cost Price of toys which Priti purchases= Rs.900
The sale price of 1/3 rd toys = Rs. (300 x 1.10)= Rs. 330.
The sale price of 1/3rd of remaining toys( Rs.600) = Rs.(200 x 0.90)= Rs.180
The sale price of the last 1/3 rd toys= (400x 1.05)= Rs.420.
Sale price of all the toys = Rs.(330+180+420)=Rs. 930
profit=Sale Price- Cost Price= 930- 900=30
% profit= 30/900x 100= 3.33% .
Thus, The overall profit percent of Priti is 3.33%.
