Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

money he loses:

-Rs 500 while buying

-25 on transport

Money he gains:

-590 while selling

the total money he gains is greater than the total money he spends, so he has made a profit

to find the profit:

first find the difference between the money he gains and the total money he spends.

590-525=65

now to find the profit of buying the apples and transporting it, calculate     $\frac{65}{525}$  * 100

which is 12.4%
