Step-by-step explanation:
1 dozen = 12 bananas , 1 dozen = ₹15
=> 1200 bananas = 100 dozens = ₹1500------------(1)
a) sold 800 bananas at 2 bananas for ₹4
=> 1 banana =₹2 =>800 bananas =₹1600--------(2)
b)sold remaining (=1200 bananas - 800 bananas = 400 bananas) at ₹8 for 5 bananas each:
5 bananas = ₹ 8
=>1 banana = ₹8/5
=>400 bananas = ₹ 640 ----------(3)
From (2) and (3):
Total selling price =₹1600+₹640 =₹2240 ------(4)
Total cost price (From (1)) =₹1500
profit =SP-CP =₹740
profit% = profit/CP×100
=>740/1500*100
=49.33%
