C Correct answer
Explanation

Gain percent = ((True weight - False weight) / False weight) * 100. Gain = ((1000 - 900) / 900) * 100 = (100 / 900) * 100 = 100 / 9 = 11 1/9%.

AI explanation

Using the gain percentage formula for false weights, the profit is calculated as the difference between the true weight and the false weight divided by the false weight, all multiplied by 100. The dealer gives 900 grams but charges for 1000 grams, so the gain percentage is ((1000 minus 900) divided by 900) multiplied by 100, which equals 11 1/9%.
