X = price
50kg = 50X
he sells 30kg of fruits on its Cp 35kg
cp of 30kg = 30X
sp of 30kg = 35X
remaining fruits is 20 kg
he sells 20kg of fruits on cp of 16kg
cp of 20kg = 20X
sp of 20kg = 18X
total cp is = 50X
total sp is = (35 + 18 ) = 53X
sp>cp (it means profit )
profit = sp - cp = 53 - 50 = 3
profit % = gain/cp × 100
= 3/50 × 100
= 6 %
