Question

A man purchase 2 lemons in 1 rupees and sell 5 lemons in rupees 3.Find its profit percentage

Answer 1

CP of 2 lemon = Rs 1

CP of 1 lemon = Rs 1/2

CP of 5 lemon = Rs 1/2*5= 5/2

SP of 5 lemon = Rs 3

Gain = SP -CP

= Rs(3- 5/2 )

=Rs 1/2

Profit % = ( Gain/Cp * 100)

=( 1/2 /5/2 * 100 )

=( 1/5 *100 )

= 20%
