Correct Answer: ans.The percentage of his profit is 20%
Explanation:
Total cost for per quintal rice = Tk. (985 + 10 + 5)= Tk. 1000
The selling price of per quintal rice = Tk. 1200
The total profit = (1200-1000)= Tk. 200
The 1000 makes profit = Tk. 200
The 100 makes profit =$\frac{200\times 100}{1000}$Tk. = Tk. 20
The percentage of his profit is 20%
