How do I start and how to solve it

Answers

try using some easy numbers first.

if buying 10 lbs, his scale says he is only getting 11 lbs.

His selling scale says he is selling 9 lbs.

See what you can do with that.

Looks to me like he's losing money. Unless somehow the buying/selling is from the customer's perspective, not the shopkeeper's.
