If a shopkeeper purchases cashewnuts at rs250 perkg. and sells it at rs10 per 50gms,then he will have how much profit or loss percentage?

• Explanation:-
  The Cost price of 1 kg cashewnuts = Rs.250
  The selling price of 50 g cashewnuts = Rs.10
  The selling price of 1 kg cashewnuts = 20 x 10 = Rs.200
  Loss = Cost price – Selling price
  Loss = 250 – 200 = Rs.50
  Loss% = Loss x 100/Cost price
  Loss% = 50 x 100/250 = 20%
  Hence, the answer is 20% loss

• since sp=rs10 per 50gms
  actually 1kg=1000gms
  so for 50gms=0.05kg
  so sp=10*0.05
  sp=rs 0.5
  now ,,,cp=rs 250 for 1 kg
  so for 0.05kg cp=12.5
  since cp>sp we get loss
  and loss=12.5-0.5
  loss=12
  loss%=12/12.5*100
  loss%=96
