Question

A fruit vendor buys oranges at the of 5 for rs.40 and sells them at rs.9 per orange.Find his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

cost of 1 orange = ₹ 5

total cost price of oranges = ₹ 40

Find the oranges:
------------------------

number of oranges = 40 / 5 = 8 oranges

selling price of 1 orange = ₹ 9

Find the selling price:
-----------------------------

since, the selling price of 1 orange = ₹9

then ,

selling price of 8 oranges = 8 × 9 = ₹72

Find the profit:
-------------------

profit = selling price - cost price

profit = ₹72 - ₹40 = ₹ 32

Find the profit% :
-----------------------

profit% = ( profit × 100 )/cost price

= (32 × 100 ) / 40 = 3200 ÷ 40

= 80 %

therefore , the profit = 80%

Answer : profit = 80%
