Question

A fruit seller buys oranges at the rate of 2 for a rupee and sells them at the rate of 5 for three rupees. Find his gain percent

Answer 1

since CP of 2oranges is 1
so CP of 1 orange is 1/2.
now SP of 5 oranges is Rs 3
so SP of 1 orange is Rs 3/5.
Now he got profit
profit = 3/5 - 1/2 = 1/10
so profit (gain) % = ( 1/10 * 100)/1/2 = 20%.

Answer 2

The fruit seller's gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A fruit seller buys oranges at the rate of 2 for a rupee and sells them at the rate of 5 for three rupees. Find his gain percent

Solution:

Cost of 1 orange = 0.5 rupees.

Cost of 5 oranges = 5 $\times$ 0.5 = 2.5 rupees

Selling price of 5 oranges = 3 rupees

Selling price of 1 orange = $\frac{3}{5}$ = 0.6 rupees

Gain = 0.6 – 0.5 = 0.1 rupees

Gain percent = 20%
