◕ Correct Question ◕

• A man purchase five oranges for rs 4 and sold them at the rate of 4 oranges for rs 5 the profit is ?

◕ Given ◕

• cost price (C.P) of 5 oranges = Rs 4
• selling price (S.P) of 4 oranges = Rs 5

◕ To find ◕

• what is the profit percent?

◕ Formula ◕

• Profit = S.P - C.P
• Profit % = Profit / C.P x 100

◕ Approach ◕

• We will first find the C.P of 1 orange
• then, we will find the S.P of 1 orange
• Finally, we will find the profit

◕ Solution ◕

✧ it is given that,

C.P of 5 oranges = Rs 4

✧ so, applying here unitary method we can find the C.P of 1 orange

i.e.,

C.P of 1 orange= Rs 4/5

✧ it is given that,

S.P of 4 oranges = Rs 5

✧ Similarly, we can find the S.P of 1 orange

i.e.,

S.P of 1 orange = Rs 5/4

Now,

✷ To make it simple we will convert this fraction into number by multiplying Both C.P and S.P with 20 as the L.C.M of (5,4) is 20 ✷

so,

C.P of 1 orange is now become = 4/5 x 20 = Rs16

And,

S.P of 1 orange is now become = 5/4 x 20 = Rs25

⚽ We know the formula,

Profit = S.P- C.P

=> 25 - 16

=> 9

✷ Therefore,

Profit in 1 orange is Rs 9 ✷

And,

✷ Profit percent is ✷

=> 9/16 x 100

=> 56.25 % (Ans)
