Question

A street vender bought 10 dozen oranges at 30 per dozen he sold half of them at ₹ 4 each nd other half at ₹ 3 each find his profit. or loss per cent

Answer 1

Answer:

profit = Rs. 120

profit% = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

orange purchased 10 dozen

rate of orange per dozen 30

total cost = 30 × 10 = 300

10 × 12 = 120 oranges

rate of one orange = 300/120 = 2.50

half of the oranges are sold at Rs. 4

120/2 = 60

60 orange sold at Rs 4 each

selling price of 60 orange = 60 × 4 = 240

remaining half of oranges sold at Rs 3 per orange

60 × 3 = 180

total selling price of 120 orange

240 + 180 = 420

profit = selling price - cost price

= 420 - 300

= 120

profit% = profit/ cost price × 100

= 120/300 × 100

= 120/3

= 40%

therefore the profit is Rs. 120

and profit% is 40%
