Question

a fruit seller purchased Orange at the rate of 7 for Rs.10and sold them with 40% profit. A customer get how many orange in Rs10​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of oranges that one can get for Rs. 10 will be 5.

Solution:

Cost price of 7 oranges = Rs. 10

Thus, CP of 1 orange = Rs. $\frac {10}{7}$  

The seller sells it with 40% profit

Thus, profit  

$\begin{array} { c } { = R s \frac { 10 } { 7 } \times \frac { 40 } { 100 } } \\\\ { = R s \frac { 4 } { 7 } } \end{array}$

SP of one orange

$= R s \frac { 10 } { 7 } + R s \frac { 4 } { 7 }$

$\begin{aligned} & = R s \frac { 14 } { 7 } \\\\ & = R s .2 \end{aligned}$

Thus, the selling price of one orange is Rs. 2

So, a customer can get 5 oranges for 10 rupees.
