Question

A fruit seller buys mangoes at the rate of 15
for Rs. 12 and sells them at the rate of Rs. 15 per
dozen. Find his gain percentage? (Moderate level)
(a) 25.65% (b) 32.25% (C) 51.35%
(d) 56.25% (e) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

The gain percentage is 56.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost price of 15 fruits = 12 rupees,

So, the cost price per fruit = $\frac{12}{15}$ = 4/5 rupees,

Also, the selling price of 12 fruits = 15 rupees,

So, the selling price per fruit = $\frac{15}{12}$ = 5/4 rupees,

Hence,

$\text{Gain}\% =\frac{\text{SP-CP}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$

$=\frac{\frac{5}{4}-\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}\times 100$

$=\frac{\frac{25-16}{20}}{\frac{4}{5}}\times 100$

$=\frac{9\times 5}{20\times 4}\times 100$

$=\frac{9\times 25}{4}$

$=\frac{225}{4}$

=  56.25%

Hence, OPTION D is correct.
