An electronic weighing machine can show correct weight within the range of ± 10 grams. Nathan used this machine and sells items at the cost price. If Nathan sells items only in the form of 400 grams packets, then what is the maximum loss he can suffer? (in %)
Solution

Nathan will suffer maximum loss when Machine shows 410 grams as 400 grams
He will get price for 400 grams but will give 410 grams
