Question

A vendor purchased 1000 oranges for 2 each.Of these 150 got spoiled. If he sold the rest for Rs 2.50 each, find his gain or loss in the whole transaction.

Answer 1

Given:
Oranges Purchased by the Vendor=1000
rate=2/orange.
So total Cost while Buying=2000Rs.

Now Oranges Left after removing the spoiled oranges=1000-150=850

Selling rate=2.50/orange
So total Sale =850×2.50=2125Rs.

So,He made a Total Profit of Rs.2125-2000=125 rupees..

Hope it helps...
