Question

12. A shopkeeper buys 120 oranges at 6 for
Rs. 5 and 180 oranges more at Rs. 1 each and hè sold the whole for 4 per Rs. 6. What is the profit and loss percent.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first

Given

Shopkeeper buys 6 oranges at rs 5

then cost of 120 oranges = 5/6×120= ₹100

Also cost of 180 oranges at the rate 1 Rs each = ₹180

Total cost of (120+180 =300) oranges = 100+180= ₹280

Selling price Of 4 oranges is rs 6

selling price of 300 oranges = 6/4×300= ₹ 450

Hence selling price is more ,then profit

profit = Selling price - cost price

= 450 - 280

= ₹ 170

profit percent = (profit/cost price)×100

= 60.71%
