Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Cost Price of mangos :-

= 80 x 10

= ₹ 800

10 mangoes got rotten so we have to substract them from the selling price (S. P.)

The fruit seller sold each mangoes at ₹ 15

So, Selling price of mangoes :-

= (80 - 10) x 15

= 70 x 15

= ₹ 1050

Since S. P. > C. P. , So It is a Profit.

PROFIT =

= S. P. - C. P

= 1050 - 800

= ₹ 250

PROFIT PERCENTAGE :-

Profit / C. P. x 100

= 250 / 800 x 100

= 31.25 % ____Answer

ANSWER :- 31.25 %
