Question

A fruit seller brought 75 mangoes of Rs 500. 20% of them are bad .He sold the rest at a gain of 15 %. What was the selling price of each mangoes?​

Answer 1

Answer is Rs 575

Mangoes bought = 75

CP of mangoes = 500

If 20% mangoes were bad then,

The mangoes bad = 20/100*75

=15

Mangoes left = 75-15 =60

Profit% = 15%

SP = CP(100 + P)/100

SP = CP*115/100

SP = 57500/100

= 575 Rs
