at 2 rupee, then he sells the whole
lot at 5 for two apples rupees find his total
Loss or profit percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the cost of 120 apples at 3 a rupee:

3 apples = Rs 1

1 apple = 1 ÷ 3 = Rs 1/3

120 apples = 1/3 x 120 = Rs 40

Find the cost of 120 apples at 2 a rupee:

2 apples = Rs 1

1 apple = 1 ÷ 2 = Rs 1/2

120 apples = 1/2 x 120 = Rs 60

Find the total cost:

Total cost = 40 + 60 = Rs 100

Find the total selling price:

Total number of apples = 120 + 120 = 240

5 apples = Rs 2

1 apple = 2 ÷ 5 = Rs 2/5

240 apples = 2/5 x 240 = Rs 96

Find the profit/loss

Rs 96 < Rs 100 ⇒ It is a loss

Loss = 100 - 96 = Rs 4

Find the loss percentage:

Loss Percentage = loss/cost price x 100

Loss Percentage = 4/100 x 100 = 4%

The loss is 4%
