Answers
Answer:
No. of pomegranates he buys = 100
Cost Price of each pomegranate = 50 paise
Total cost price of pomegranates = 100 x 50 = 5000 paise = 50 rupees
No. of kiwis he buys = 50
Cost Price of each kiwi = 60 paise
Total cost price of kiwis = 50 x 60 = 3000 paise = 30 rupees
Percentage of pomegranates spoilt = 10% of 100 = 10/100 x 100 = 10 fruits
Percentage of kiwis spoilt = 10% of 50 = 10/100 x 50 = 5 fruits
Total cost price of pomegranates excluding spoilt fruits' price =
5000 - 10 x 50 = 5000 -500 = 4500 paise = 45 rupees
Total cost price of kiwis excluding spoilt fruits' prices =
3000 - 5 x 60 = 3000 - 300 = 2700 paise = 27 rupees
Total cost price of both fruits excluding spoilt fruits' prices = 45 + 27 = 72
No. of pomegranates he sells = 90 fruits ( because 10 are spoilt )
Selling price per pomegranate = 70 paise
Total money earned from pomegranate = 90 x 70 = 4900 paise = 49 rupees
No. of kiwis he sells = 45 fruits ( because 5 are spoilt )
Selling price per kiwi = 100 paise
Total money earned from kiwis = 45 x 100 = 4500 paise = 45 rupees
Total money earned from both fruits = 49 + 45 = 94 rupees
Profit = Selling price - Cost price = 94 - 72 = 22 rupees
Profit in percentage = profit/ cost price x 100 = 22/72 x 100 = 30.5 %
