Question

A girl buys lemons at 4 for rs 3 and sells them at 5 for rs 4 How much did she gain or loss if she sell 20 lemon

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost price of the 20 lemons:

4 lemons = Rs 3

1 lemon = 3 ÷ 4 = Rs 0.75

20 lemons = 0.75 x 20 = Rs 15

Find the selling price of the 20 lemons:

5 lemons = Rs 4

1 lemon = 4 ÷ 5 = Rs 0.80

20 lemons = 0.8 x 20 = Rs 16

Find the profit/loss:

Rs 16 > Rs 15 ⇒ It is a profit

Profit = 16 - 15 = Rs 1

Answer: She gained Rs 1 from selling the 20 lemons.
