Question

A Fruit seller purchased 500 mangoes at rs 2 each . 100 of them were rotten and he the sold rest in rs 3 each . find profit or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of one mango = 2 rs

cost of 500 such mango = 500 × 2 = 1000rs

Step-by-step explanation:

no of mango rotten = 100

no of mango left = 500 - 100 = 400

selling price of one mango = 3rs

selling price of 400 such mango = 400× 3 =1200 rs

profit gain by fruit seller = selling price - cost price = 1200 - 1000 = 200 rs

profit percentage = profit gained × 100 / cost price=

200 ×100 / 1000 =

2%

profit percentage gained by the shopkeeper = 2%
