Question

A fruit seller buys mangoes at 350 per hundred and sells them at 48 per dozen. Find his profit or
loss percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→ CP/100 Mangoes = Rs. 350

→ CP/1 Mango = 350/100

→ CP/1 Mango = Rs. 3.5

→ SP/12 Mangoes = Rs. 48

→ SP/1 Mango = 48/12

→ SP/1 Mango = Rs. 4

→ Profit = SP - CP

→ Profit = 4 - 3.5

→ Profit = Rs. 0.5

→ Profit % = Profit/CP x 100

→ Profit % = 0.5/3.5 x 100

→ Profit % = 14.2857142857%

→ Therefore, profit % is about 14.2857142857%
