Question

a fruit seller buys 3 oranges at rupees 5 and sells 2 oranges at rupees 4 .what is his percent profit​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP

3oranges= 5 rs

1 orange= 5/3= 1.6 rs

SP

2oranges= 4 rs

1 orange= 4/2= 2 rs

Profit= 2-1.6= 0.4 rs Profit

Profit %= P/CP × 100

            = 0.4/1.6 × 100

            = 25%

Answer 2

COST PRICE OF 3 ORANGE S= 5 RS

COST PRICE OF 1 ORANGE =$\frac{5}{3}$ = 1.6 RS

SELLING PRICE OF 2 ORANGES = 4 RS

SELLING PRICE OF 1 ORANGE = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 RS

PROFIT = COST PRICE - SELLING PRICE

PROFIT=$2$- $1.6$

PROFIT= 0.4 RS

PROFIT PERCENTAGE = $\frac{PROFIT}{COST PRICE}$ ×100

= $\frac{0.4}{1.5}$×100

= 25%

SO THE PROFIT PERCENTAGE OF THE FRUIT SELLER IS 25%
