  • A merchant buys 20 books at 4,000 each, sells 75% at 6,000,…

    Purpose of the problem

    This problem asks for the profit, which means:

    Profit = Total revenue Total cost

    So, we need to find two main things:

    The total cost (capital)

    The total revenue from sales

    Step 1: Calculate the total cost

    Total cost = number of books buying price per book

    Number of books = 20

    Buying price per book = 4,000

    Calculation:

    20 4,000 = 80,000

    Total cost = Rp80,000

    Step 2: Calculate 75% of the books sold

    75% means 75 out of 100, or 0.75

    Calculation:

    0.75 20 = 15 books

    Books sold at the first price = 15 books

    Step 3: Calculate revenue from the first sale

    Selling price = 6,000

    Calculation:

    15 6,000 = 90,000

    Revenue from the first sale = Rp90,000

    Step 4: Calculate the remaining books

    Total books = 20

    Books sold = 15

    Calculation:

    20 15 = 5 books

    Remaining books = 5 books

    Step 5: Calculate revenue from the remaining books

    Selling price = 5,000

    Calculation:

    5 5,000 = 25,000

    Revenue from the second sale = Rp25,000

    Step 6: Calculate total revenue

    Revenue from first sale = 90,000

    Revenue from second sale = 25,000

    Calculation:

    90,000 + 25,000 = 115,000

    Total revenue = Rp115,000

    Step 7: Calculate the profit

    Profit formula:

    Profit = Revenue Cost

    Calculation:

    115,000 80,000 = 35,000

    Final Conclusion

    The merchants total profit is Rp35,000.
