Question

A basket contains 180 oranges bought at ₹5 each. Due to poor weather conditions,
15 oranges get spoilt. If the remaining
oranges were sold at ₹1350, find the
overall profit or loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

180*5=900

all the oranges were bought for 900

means that the person had gained a profit 1350 - 900 = 450

formula for profit % = P/C

450/900=2 %

means that the person gained a profit of 2 %

Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = 180×5 = 900

SP = 1350

profit = SP-CP = 1350-900 = 450

% profit = 450×100/900 = 50%
