A trader buys 200 mixed stationery boxes at a rate of ₹120 each. He spends ₹1,800 on transportation and packaging. He sells 100 boxes at ₹150 each and the remaining at ₹130 each. What is his total profit percentage?

  1. 8%

  2. 8.53%

  3. 8.75%

  4. 9%

Answer: B

Solution

Total cost price = 200 × 120 + 1800 = ₹25,800. Total selling price = 100 × 150 + 100 × 130 = ₹28,000. Profit = 28000 − 25800 = ₹2,200. Profit percentage = (2200/25800) × 100 = 8.53% approximately.
