Question

a fruit seller buys 700 Orange at the rate of rupees 500 for hundred orange and then other variety of 500 Orange at the rate of rupees 700 for 100 orange and sells them at rupees 84 per dozen find the profit percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit= (SP - CP)/CP

SP = (Total/12)*84

Total = 1200

Hence, SP = 8400

CP = (700*500)/100 + (500*700)/100

Hence, CP = 7000

PROFIT = (8400-7000)/7000

PROFIT = 1400/7000

PROFIT = 0.2

PROFIT IN PERCENTAGE = 20%

Answer 2

The profit percent​ is 20%.

Explanation:

For one variety,

Cost of 100 oranges = rs 500

Then Cost of 700 oranges = 7 x ( rs 500) = Rs 3500

For another variety,

Cost of 100 oranges = rs 700

Then Cost of 500 oranges = 5 x ( rs 700) = Rs 3500

Total oranges of both varieties = 700+500= 1200

Total cost of oranges = Rs 3500+Rs 3500 = Rs 7000

Selling price of one dozen of oranges = Rs 84

i.e. Selling price of 12 oranges = Rs 84

i.e. Selling price of 1 orange= Rs 84 ÷ 12 = Rs 7

Selling price of 1200 oranges = 1200 x (Selling price of 1 orange)

= 1200x 7= Rs 8400

Total Selling price of oranges =Rs 8400

Profit= Selling price - cost  price

=8400-7000 =1400

Profit percentage= $\dfrac{Profit}{\text{Cost price}}\times100$

$=\dfrac{1400}{7000}\times100=20\%$

Therefore , the profit percent​ is 20%.
