Question

Articles are bought at 5 for ₹ 10 and sold at 6 for ₹ 15. Find the profit or loss percent​

Answer 1

Oranges are bought at 5 for Rs.10

Cost of 5 oranges is Rs.10

So,cost of one orange =

5

10

=Rs.2

So the cost of 6 oranges=2×6=Rs.12

Cost of 6 oranges is Rs.12

Cost price=c.p=12

Selling Price=s.p=15

so profit =s.p−c.p=15−12=Rs.3

profit %=

C.P

profit×100

=

12

3×100

=25%

∴the profit % is 25%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Oranges are bought at 5 for RS.10

Cost of 5 oranges is RS.10

So, cost of one oranges = 10/5

= RS.2

So, the cost of 6 oranges = 2×6

= RS. 12

Cost of 6 oranges = RS.12

Cost price = RS.12

Selling price =RS.15

So, profit = selling price - cost price

= 15 - 12 = RS.3

Profit% = cost price

Profit × 100 = 3 × 100 = 300

So ,300/12 = 25%

The profit% is = 25 %
