Question

a shopkeeper bought 150 oranges for rs 900 and he sold 100 oranges for each rs 5 and the rest of rs 7 each . find the profit and lost.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If 150 oranges had bought for Rs.900 then 1 orange cost

=900÷150

=₹6

If he sold 100 oranges for Rs.5 each means 100 oranges is sold for = 100×5 = ₹500

And 50 oranges for Rs. 7 each means 50 oranges is sold for = 50×7 =₹350

Hence,total cost = ₹900

And total sale = 500+350 = ₹850

So profit = 900 - 850 = -50 (loss) [because it is negative]
