Question

A man bought some oranges at the rate of
Rs. 15 for 5 and sold them at the rate of
Rs. 16 for 4. Calculate his profit per cent. answer plzz and do not follow me​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the question,

The cost price for 5 apples are 15 Rs

The Selling price for 4 apples are 16 Rs

Here we will take the LCM of 4 and 5 that will be 20. So we will check the CP and SP of 20 apples.

CP of 20 apples=15×5=75

SP of 20 apples=16×4=64

Now, Loss=CP-SP

75–64=11

Loss%=(Loss×100)/CP

(11×100)/75

=11×4/3

=44/3%

=14.67%.
