Question

A fruit seller bought 600 mangoes at 6 for Rs. 5 and sold at 5 for Rs. 6. Find the profit or loss percentage :​

Answer 1

Answer:

44 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Total CP = 600/6 × ₹5

= 100 × ₹5

= ₹ 500

SP = 600/5 × ₹6

= 120 × ₹6

= ₹ 720

Profit = ₹ 220

Profit % = 220 / 500 × 100

= 220 / 5 %

= 44 %
