Question

A man buys 80 apples at Rs. 4 each and 60
oranges at Rs. 3 each. 10% of the apples and
oranges are spoiled. The man sells the
remaining apples at Rs. 5 each and oranges at
Rs. 2.50 each. Find the overall gain/loss
percent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1% of profit is gained .

Step-by-step explanation:

80 apples at ₹4 each = ₹ 320

10%of apples were spoiled so 74 apples remains

60 oranges at ₹3 each = ₹ 180

10%of oranges were spoiled so 54 oranges remains

adding both the cp 320 +180 = 500

therefore cp = ₹500

now sp of apples is 74 × 5 = 370

so sp of apples is ₹370

sp of oranges is 54 × 2.50 = 135

adding both the sp 370 + 135 = 505

since profit is sp -cp =505 - 500 = 5
