Answer 1

Let fruit seller buys 100 oranges for Rs. 100

On selling of 40% of the oranges he realizes his cost price i.e. He sells 40 oranges for Rs. 100

Profit on 40 Oranges = 100 - 40 = Rs. 60

% profit on 40 oranges = 60×10040

60×10040

= 150%

Now, he sells 80% of 60 oranges on half of the previous profit i.e. 48 oranges, he sells at 75% of profit

So, SP of 48 oranges = 48 + 75% of 48 = 84

12 was rotten so he threw away.

Total SP = 100 + 84 = Rs. 184

Profit = 184 - 100 = 84

%Profit = 84%
