shopkeeper bought 400 meter cloths at rs 40,000 and sell at 200 rs per one and half mtr cloths. what is the gain or loss percent?

• 4000m for Rs 40000 so Rs 100 per meter
  
  actual cost of 1.5 meter is Rs 150
  selling cost of 1.5 meter is Rs 200
  
  so 50/150 *100 = 33.33% Profit

• 400 mtr -- 40000
  1 1/2 mtr -- ?
  
  3/(2*400) * 40000 = 150rs
  
  So he has bought 1 1/2 metres at 150 rs nd going to sold at 200 rs
  So Gain = 200 - 150 = 50
  
  Gain % = 50 * 100 /150
  => 5000/150 = 33.33%
  
  Ans : 33.33%

• 400 m cloth = 40,000
  
  so 1 m cloth = 40,000/400 = 100
  
  1 1/2 cloth = 100 + 50 = 150
  
  the shopkeeper sells 1 1/2 m for 200rs, so the profit is = 200 - 150 = rs.50.
  
  gain% = 50 * 100/150 ==> 33.33%

• cp of 1 meter=40000/400
  =rs 100/m
  
  sp of 1 meter=200/1.5
  
  gain%= sp-cp * 100/cp
  =(200/1.5-100) *100/100
  =500/15
  =33.33%

• approximately 33% gain
  3/2m=200
  400m=x
  
  x*3/2=200*400
  x=53333
  gain=s.p-c.p
  gain=13333
  
  gain%=(13333/40000)*100=33%

• 400m-->40000 which means 1m-->100 rs.
  then he sells at 3/2 m-->200rs. which gives us , 3m for 400rs as S.P .
  while c.p for 3m is 300(3*100). so , p=400-300.
  p%=100/300*100=33.3%
