Question

a fruit seller purchased 200 mangoes at rs 3 each. 20 of them were rotten and he sold the rest at rs 3.50 each. Find his profit or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P.=cost of each apple*no. of apple

C.P.=200*3=600rs

Now,20 apples were rotten

So, remaining apples=200-20=180

S.P.=selling cost of each apple *no. Of apple

S.P.=180*3.50=630rs

Profit=S.P.-C.P.

Profit=630-600=30rs

Profit percent =profit/cost price*100

Profit percent =30/600*100=5%

Ans.5%
