Q.	A dishonest dealer professes to sell his goods at cost price but uses a weight of 800 grams instead of 1 kg. Find his profit percentage.

Quantity Price

CP 1000 g 1 800 (CP)

SP 800 g 1 1000 (SP)

Profit = 1000 - 800 = 200

Profit% = $\frac{200}{800} \times 100 = 25 %$

Profit % = $\frac{C h e a t i n g Q u a n t i t y}{S o l d Q u a n t i t y} \times 100$

Profit % = $\frac{200}{800} \times 100 = 25 %$
