C.P for 5 lemons=Rs.7
S.P for 1 lemon=Rs.1.75.
S.P for 5 lemons=1.75*5
                           =Rs.8.75.
S.P>C.P.

Answer 2

Hey there,

Buying price of 5 lemons=7

Selling price of 1 lemon=1.75
Number of lemons=5
Total selling price of 5 lemons=8.75

Since Selling Price>Buying Price,
Therefore there id Profit or Gain.

Profit=(SP-BP)*100/BP

=(8.75-7)*100/7

=175/7

=25%
