A shopkeeper sells items at a mark-up of 10% and his weighing balance shows 800gms instead of 1 kg. What is the overall profit or loss % ?

Will the answer be 37.5% profit or 12% loss?

Tbh, I got 37.5% profit but few people pointed out that-
Let’s say the investment is
1 gm = 1 Rs
So his investment is on
1000 gm or 1000 Rs
But he uses weighing balance and to him and the customer it shows 800 gm and the shopkeeper thinks that his cost is 800 Rs
He wants a mark up of 10 %

So he gets 880 Rs ( SP )

So 880-1000/ 1000 = 12% loss
Just confused with this.. pls clarify

Let’s cost price 1000gms be 100
Mark up price would be =1.1*100=110
He sells by faulty scale 800 gms instead of 1000gms
Cost price to shopkeeper=80
Profit=110-80=30
Profit % =30/80*100=37.5

Why would the cost to the shopkeer be 80? The actual weight is 1000 gms right? Only it shows as 800 gms. The customer would actually pay for 800 gms worth of product.
