Question

A person bought 25 karats of oranges for Rs 10,000. He lost five karats out of it.
At what price he should shall each remaining karats so that he can get a profit of
25% on total cost.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

625 rs

Step-by-step explanation:

After losing 5 oranges he has 20.

A 25 percent profit would be selling all oranges at 12,500 rs

divide 12,500 by 20

12,500/20 = 625

Therefore, he should sell each orange at 625 rs to make a 25% profit

Answer 2

Answer:

10000÷25

400

one karats cost is 400

so

20 karats cost

10000÷20

500

so we write

25%of 500

25/100×500

125

he got 125 profit
