  1. A publisher printed 2000 copies of a book at a cost of $ 70,000. He distributes 400 copies free as specimen copies. He gave 30% discount on printed price and the printed price of each book is $ 75. What is his gain or loss percentage?
    1. 20% gain
    2. 20% loss
    3. 10% loss
    4. 10% gain
Correct Option: A

S.P. of each book =
75 × 70
= $ 52.50
100

Total S.P. = 1600 × 52.50 = $ 84000
Gain = 84000 – 70000 = $ 14000
∴ Gain % =
14000
× 100 = 20%
70000
