Shortcut Trick Given:

Cost price of milk = Rs. X per litre

Selling Price = Rs. 2X per litre

He mixes 2 litres of water with every 6 litre of pure milk

Calculation:

Profit percent = {[(Profit)/CP] × 100}

⇒ (10x/6x) × 100 = 166.66%

∴ The profit percentage is 166.66%.

Alternate MethodGiven:

Cost price of milk = Rs. X per litre

Selling Price = Rs. 2X per litre

He mixes 2 litres of water with every 6 litre of pure milk

Formula Used:

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Profit percent = {[(SP - CP)/CP] × 100}

Where, SP = Selling price and CP = Cost price

Calculation:

According to the question,

Cost price of 6 litres milk = Rs. 6

Cost price of 2litres water = Rs. 0

Total cost price of mixture = 6x

Selling price of 6 litres milk and 2litres water = 8 × 2x

⇒ 16x

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

⇒ 16x - 6x = 10x

Profit percent = {[(SP - CP)/CP] × 100}

⇒ (10x/6x) × 100 = 166.66%

∴ The profit percentage is 166.66%.
