Question

a fruit seller sells 3 by fifth part of a fruits at a profit of 10% age and remaining at a loss of 5% age if the total profit is Rupees 1500 then what is the total cost price of fruits​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 37500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of each fruit = x

Given;

3/5 of x was sold as a profit of 10%

Profit(on 3/5th fruits) = 10% of (3x/5)

Given;

2/5 of x was sold at a loss of 5%

Loss(on 2/5th fruits) = 5% of  (2x/5)

Give;

Total profit = Rs 1500

Profit(on 3/5th fruits) 0 - Loss(on 2/5th fruits) = 1500

10% (3x/5) - 5% (2x/5) = 1500

(10/100)(3x/5) - (5/100)(2x/5) = 1500

(30x/500) - (10x/500) = 1500

30x - 10x = 1500 * 500

20x = 750000

   x = 750000/20

   x = 37500

The total C.P of the fruits = x = Rs 37500
