case 1,

Let the CP be ₹x,

SP = ₹2400

Profit = SP – CP

= 2400 – x

Profit % = {(2400–x)/ x} × 100%

According to the question,

{(2400–x)/ x} × 100 = 25

=> (2400–x)/ x= 25 /100

=> 100(2400–x) = 25x [ cross multiplication]

=> 240000 – 100x = 25x

=> 240000 = 25x + 100x

=> 240000 = 125x

=> 240000/125 = x

=> x = 1920

So, CP = ₹1920

case 2,

SP = ₹2040

Profit = SP – CP

= 2040 – 1920

= ₹120

profit % = 120/1920 × 100%

= 16%

<h3>Thus, his profit would be 16% if he had sold his goods for ₹2040.</h3>

new weight = 43 kg

decrease in weight = 48 - 43 = 5 kg

Since the weight decrease their will be a percentage decrease in weight.

% decrease = decrease in weight/original weight × 100

% decrease = 5/48 × 100

% decrease = 500/48

% decrease = 10. 42666666667

percentage change in weight ≈ 10%
