Question

a few oranges were brought at 6 for RS 10 and sold at 4 for RS 9. what was the profit or loss%

Answer 1

C.P of 6 oranges = 10
C.P of 1 orange = 10/6 = 5/3

S.P of 4 oranges = 9
S.P of 1 orange = 9/4

Profit = S.P - C.P
= 9/4 - 5/3
= (27 - 20)/12
= 7/12
Profit % = (Profit/C.P) × 100
= (7/12)/(5/3) × 100
= (7/20) × 100
= 7 × 5
= 35%
