10 apples for Rs 12. His gain percentage is :
​

Answer 1

Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dealer purchasing 12 apples and selling 10 apples, then take the LCM of 12 and 10, which will come 60.

Now, CP of 12 apples are ₹ 10,

Then, the CP of 60 Apples will be ₹ 50.

And, the SP of 10 apples are ₹ 12,

Then the SP of 60 apples are ₹ 72.

Now the Profit on 60 Apples=SP-CP=72–50=₹ 22.

Profit%= (22×100)/50=44%

Hence the profit will be 44%.
