11. A dishonest dealer marks up the price of his goods by 20% and gives a discount of 10% to the customer. Besides, he also cheats both his supplier and his buyer by 100 grams while buying or selling 1 kilogram. Find the percentage profit earned by the shopkeeper?
A. 20%
B. 25%
C. 46.66%
D. 32%
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
While buying,
He buys 1100 gram instead of 1000 gram.
Suppose he bought 1100 grams for ₦1000.
While selling,
He sells only 900 grams when he takes the money for 1 kg.
Now, according to the problem,
he sells at a 8% profit (20% markup, 10% discount).
Hence, his selling price is ₦1080 for 900 grams.
Now,
1100 grams for Rs. 1000
Hence, 1188 grams for ₦1080
Selling: 900 grams for ₦1080
Hence, % profit = 288 / 900 × 100 = 32%
(using goods left by goods sold formula).
12. A reduction of 20% in the price of sugar enables a Mrs Adekunle to purchase 6 kg more for ₦240. What is the original price per kg of sugar.

C. ₦6 per Kg
D. ₦5 per Kg
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
It is based on inverse proportion or product constancy concept. Reduction in price 20% amount of sugar will increase 25%
It means,
25% = 6 Kg. So,
Initially, total Sugar = 6 × 4 = 24Kg. Thus,
Original price of the sugar was,
240 /24 = ₦10 per kg.
