This post is a part of the Special Questions Directory focusing on Quant topics traditionally neglected and not covered by conventional sources but still tested on the GMAT. Many of these are above average difficulty questions

Dishonest or cheating merchant problems in the GMAT pose a unique challenge, centered on deceptive measurement or pricing tactics. These questions usually involve detailed percentage calculations and thorough profit analysis, challenging your skills in handling complex numerical manipulations. They are perfect for honing your mathematical precision and problem-solving abilities.
