Answer 1

Answer:

43.52 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 72 oranges      = ₹ 324  

Selling price of 50 oranges =  ₹ 50 * 6 = ₹ 300

Selling price of 22 oranges  =  ₹ 165

Selling price of 72 oranges      = ₹ 300 + ₹ 165  = ₹465

Profit  = Selling price - Cost price  =    ₹465 - ₹ 324  =  ₹ 141

Profit % = Profit * 100 / Cost price

             =  141 * 100 / 324

             =  43.52 %
