Question

A fruit-seller buys oranges at 4 for * 3
and sells them at 3 for 4. Find his profit
percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let number of oranges bought = 12

[Note: L.C.M of 4 and 3 = 12]

∴ C.P. of oranges = Rs. (3/4) × 12 = RS. 9

And S.P. of oranges = Rs. (4/3) × 12

= Rs. 16

∴ Profit = 16 – 9

= Rs. 7

Profit % = Profit/ C.P. × 100

= (7/9) × 100 = 700/9 % = 77. 7/9%
