C.P. of 1 apple =Rs.

9

9.60

=Rs.1.06

S.P. of 11 apples=Rs.12

∴ S.P. of 1 apple=Rs.

11

12

=Rs.1.09

∴ C.P. of 11 apples=Rs.1.06×11

C.P.=Rs.11.66

S.P. of 11 apples=Rs.12

∴gain=S.P.−C.P.

Gain =12−11.66

Gain =0.34

Gain%=

C.P.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price of 9 apples is 9.6 rs

Cost price of each apple 9.6/9 =1.0667rs

Selling price of each apples = 12/11(11 apples sold for 12 rs therefore each apple cost is 12/11)

= 1.0909rs

Therefore CP=1.0667rs, SP=1.0909rs

SP>CP hence it's a profit

Profit%= profit /(CP*100)

=(SP- CP) /(CP*100)

Substituting all the values you get

Profits%= 2.268%

I hope it is clear
