Question

A man bought mangoes at rupees 62.50 per hundred and sold them at rupees 76.50 a hundred. if thereby he made a profit of rupees 56.00‚ how many mangoes side he sell?​

Answer 1

CP of 1 mango = Re 1.

So CP of 80 mangoes = Rs 80.

Number of mangoes which became rotten = 10.

Number of mangoes available for sale = 70.

SP of 1 mango = Rs 1.50.

SP of 70 mangoes = 1.50 x 70 = Rs 105.

Since SP > CP there is profit.

Profit = SP - CP = 105 - 80 = Rs 25

Answer 2

Answer:

76.50 - 62.50 = 14=profit for 100 mangoes

Rs 14 profit for 100 mangoes

Rs 1 profit for 100/14 mangoes

Rs 56 profit for (100/14)×56 = 100×4 = 400 mangoes Ans
