100 mangoes at a cost of 75 P each. 10
fruits were rotten. If he sold the rest at
Re, 1 per mango, find his percentage of
profit?​

Answer 1

Answer:

RS 15

cost- rs100 * 75= rs75

selling price- RS 90*1= rs90

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of mangoes

1 mango=75p i.e Rs 3/4

100 mangoes= 3/4×100 = Rs 75

10 mangoes were rotten

therefore,

total mangoes remain= 100-10 = 90

selling price of mangoes

1 mango= Re 1

90 mangoes= Rs 90

profit= c.p - s.p

= 90-75 = Rs 15

therefore,

profit %= profit/ c.p × 100

= 15/75×100

=20%
