a trader bought 749 articles for Xrs.he sold 700 of them for Xrs.he sold the remaining 49 at twice the unit rate of the earlier 700 articles.what is the overall profit % of the trader?

• c.p of 749= x rs
  s.p of 700=x --- (1)
  s.p of 49 = twice the unit rate of the earlier 700 articles,
  from (1)
  x/700 is per unit cost
  now,
  s.p of 49= 2*(x/700)*49 => .14x
  total s.p of 749= 1.14x
  profit = 1.14x-x=> .14x
  profit%= (.14x/x)*100 => 14% ans

• c.p of 749 articles = 749*x
  sp is= (700*x) + (49 *2x) = 798*x
  profit = 49*x*100/749*x
  =6.5% answer
