Since, the shopkeeper mixed 200 ml water in 1 litre of milk, then he prepared (1000 + 200 = 1200 ml = 1.2 litre of milk-water mixture in Rs. 36
⇒ Cost price of 1 litre milk-water mixture = 36/1.2 = Rs. 30
Now, selling price of 1 litre milk-water mixture = Rs. 40
Profit earned per litre = 40 – 30 = Rs. 10
∴ Profit percentage = (10/30) × 100 = 33.3%
⇒ Cost price of 1 litre milk-water mixture = 36/1.2 = Rs. 30
Now, selling price of 1 litre milk-water mixture = Rs. 40
Profit earned per litre = 40 – 30 = Rs. 10
∴ Profit percentage = (10/30) × 100 = 33.3%

He buy 1 litre milk of rs 36, then he add water 200ml
in fraction ( ⅕ water)
He try to sell

Sell price 48- buy rs36
48-36= rs12 is the profit price out of 36
12/36×100= ⅓×100=33.33 (ans)
