Solution

$\frac{D i f f e r e n c e}{F a l s e v o l u m e} \times 100 = \frac{/ 80}{/ 920} \times 100 = \frac{/ 800^{200}}{/ 92_{23}} + \frac{15}{/ 100} \times \frac{/ 200^{2}}{/ 92^{23}} \frac{/ 230}{/ 23} = 10 % f r o f i t$
Let the CP be 1rs/g
1000 gms = 1000rs
But he uses weight = 920gms
So, CP = 920
SP = 1000+150 = 1150
Profit = 1150 - 920 = 230
$P % = \frac{230}{920} \times 100 = 25 %$ .
