Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, x numbers of Oranges cost 1200 Rs.

So, 1/3rd of those Oranges i.e. x/3 numbers of Oranges cost 1200/3 =400 Rs.

Hence, the remaining Oranges cost (1200-400) =800 Rs.

A has sold x/3 numbers of Oranges at a loss of 20%.

So, the selling price of the x/3 Oranges is =400(1-0.2)= 320 Rs.

If A wants to get a net profit of 10%, then the total selling price of the x Oranges will be 1200(1+0.1)=1320 Rs.

Hence, the remaining 800 Rs of Oranges must be sold in (1320-320)= 1000

Rs.

Therefore, A has to get a profit of [(1000-800)/800]*100 =(200/800)*100 = 25% to sell the remaining Oranges. (Answer)
