Question

A fruit vendor 300 bananas at the rate of rs. 30 per 20 banana 80 bananas were spoilt and hence thrown away. He sells 10 dozens at the rate of 25 per dozen and the remaining at rs. 50 per banana. What is his profit or loss percentage

Answer 1

For 300 bananas selling at the rate of Rs.30 per 20 bananas, the the price the vendor would get=(30/20)x300=Rs.450

After throwing away 80 bananas:-

Bananas left=220

10 dozens=120 bananas were sold at the price of Rs. 25 per dozen

So the price he will get=10x25=Rs.250

And the remaining (100) bananas were sold at the price of Rs.50 per banana (though anyone won't buy at such high price)

So the price he will get=100x50=Rs.5000

Total price he will get from 220 bananas=250+5000=Rs.5250

Therefore, the percentage of profit=(5250-450)/450 x100%=1066%

Which is the answer.

But I think there is something wrong with the question. The last one should be Rs.50 per dozen.

Thanks.

For 300 bananas selling at the rate of Rs. 30 per 20 bananas, the the price the vendor would get=(30/20)x300=Rs.450

After throwing away 80 bananas:

Bananas left=220

10 dozens-120 bananas were sold at the price of Rs. 25 per dozen

So the price he will get=10x25=Rs.250

And the remaining (100) bananas were sold at the price of Rs.50 per banana (though anyone won't buy at such high price)

So the price he will get 100x50=Rs.5000

Total price he will get from 220 bananas-250+5000=Rs.5250

Therefore, the percentage of profit (5250-450)/450 x100%=1066%
