cp of one kg = 10rs

thus cp of 60kg = 600rs.

1/3 of mangoes = 60/3=20kg

sp of 20kg = 20×13 = 260rs

2/3 of mangoes sold at 16per kg

sp of 40kg = 40×16 =640rs

total sp = 900rs

sp>cp

so gain = sp-cp = 300rs

total sp =

thus total sp =

As per question,

So, net amount babita paid =48×160=Rs. 7680

She sold 70% of mangoes at Rs. 70 per kg

So, cost of 705 of mangoes =160×

100

70

×70=Rs. 7840

Net amount received after selling mangoes,

=7840+1920=Rs. 9760

We know that, SP>CP. So, there is a gain;

Gain =SP−CP=9760−7680=2080

Again, we know that,

Gain percentage =

CP

Gain

×100=

7680

2080

×100=27.80%
