Question

3. A fruit seller bought 100 kg of apples at 40.50 per kg. He sold 75 kg at 45
per kg and the remaining at 47.50 per kg. Find his profit or loss.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

profit= 512.5

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of 100 kg apples = 40.50 × 100

= 4050

SP of 75 kg apples = 45 × 75

= 3375

SP of remaining apples = 100 - 75

= 25 apples

= 25 × 47.5

= 1187.5

CP of 100 apples = Rs. 4050

SP of 100 apples = 3375 + 1187.5

=Rs. 4562.5

Here SP is greater than CP, so profit = 4562.5 - 4050 = 512.5 ANS
