Question

A fruit merchant purchases some mangoes at Rs.3 per 20 and an equal numer at Rs.3 per 30. If he sells them together at Rs.3 per 25. Find his gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :

Rs 3 per 20 mangoes

Rs 3 per 30 mangoes

Total mangoes = 20 + 30 = 50

Total cost price of 50  mangoes = Rs (3 + 3) = Rs 6

Cost Price of 1 mango = 6/50 = 0.12

Selling price of 1 mango at Rs 3 per 25

= 3/25 = 0.12

Here, Selling price is equal to the Cost price.

Hence,

Fruit merchant neither get profit nor loss.

Answer 2

Here is your solution

Price of 1 mango = 20/3.

Total price = (20/3) * x = 20x/3.

price of another mango = (30/3) = 10

Total price = 10x.

Cost price = (20x/3) + 10x

= 50x/3.

Total number of mango = 2x.

Given : 25/3.

Selling price = (25/3) * 2x

= 50x/3.

Selling price = cost price

Hence,

Fruit furniture neither get profit neither loss.
