As we did in question no 145 again we need to find the price change for each of them, we did in question number 145, For Arhar 25%, pepper = 4%, sugar = 0.35 and that for gold = 7.7% Hence total profit percentage is the average of of all these = [25 + 4 0.35 7.7]/4 = 5.1% the approximate value is 3%
