Question

A fruit seller sold 50 kg of orange at the rate of Rs 80 per kg and gained Rs 800 . calculate (I) his purchasing rate . (ii) profit percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sp of 50 kg orange= 50*80=4000

profit = 800

so,

purchasing rate or CP of orange = SP-gain

= 4000-800

= 3200

gain percentage= 800*100/3200

25%

Answer 2

Answer:

S.P of the oranges = 50 x 80 = 4000

Profit = Rs 800

Now,

    Purchasing rate or CP = SP - Profit

                                       = 4000 - 800

                                        = Rs 3200 Ans

Again,

     His Profit Percent = Profit / CP x 100%

                                 = Rs 3200/3200 x 100%

                                 = 25% Ans
