Answer 1

Hey user

Here is your answer :-

Fruit seller bought 8 boxes for Rs.150 each.

total Cost price( C.P.) = 150 × 8

= Rs. 1200.

So the total cost price is " Rs. 1200 "

One of the box is damaged and remaining are sold for Rs.190 each.

Total selling price( S.P. ) = 190 × 7

= Rs.1330.

The total selling price is " Rs.1330 ".

Here is profit since S.P. > C.P.

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= 1330 - 1200

= Rs.130

So the profit is " Rs.130 ".

$profit \: percent \: = \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{130}{1200} \times 100 \\ \\ = 0.1083 \times 100 \\ \\ = 10.83$

So the profit percent is " 10.83 ".

Thank you.

Hey friend here is your answer......


Solution :


Cost Price of 1 box of grapes = Rs.150

Cost Price of 8 boxes of grapes = 150 X 8

= Rs.1200

Number of boxes damaged = 1

Number of boxes sold = 8-1

= 7

Selling Price of one box of grapes = Rs.190

Selling Price of 7 boxes of grapes = 190 X 7

= Rs.1330


S.P. > C.P, There is a Profit .

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

= 1330 - 1200

= 130

Profit = Rs .130


Percentage Of the Profit =
$\frac{profit}{c.p} \times100$


$\frac{130}{1200} \times100$


= 10.83

Profit = 10.83 %
