Question

A seller gains the cost of 40 dozen apples by selling 25 dozen of apples. then the gain percent is

Answer 1

Given that the cost price(CP) of 40 dozen of apples is equal to selling of 25 dozen of apples.
Let the CP of 1 dozen of apple = Rs.1
Therefore CP of 40 dozen apples = Rs.40

Given, SP of 25 dozen apples = Rs.40
Then SP of 1 dozen apples = Rs.40/25 = Rs.8/5
Therefore profit of 1 dozen apples = Rs.(8/5 - 1) (SP - CP)
= Rs.3/5
Then profit % = 3/5 x 100 = 60%
