a trader claims to sell his goods at a loss of 8% but weighs 900gms in place of kg weight find the real loss or gain percent?

• (100+G)/(100-L)=1000/900
  L=8
  G=?
  put the values

• let CP of 1kg/1000g =Rs100
  SP of claimed 1kg=SP of actual 900g=Rs 92 ( loss of 8% )
  Hence SP of actual 1Kg=Rs (92*1000/900)=102.2222
  therefore gain= SP-CP= 2.22% gain.

• let 1 kg costs Rs.1000.
  So Loss of 8% means selling at 920.
  therefore profit%= (s.p-c.p)*100/c.p
  so 20/9=2.22
