Question

Arun purchased 1200 bananas at rupees 35 per dozen . He sold 900 bananas at rupees 40 per dozen and the remaining at rupees 5 for 2 bananas . Find the profit or loss made by him.

Answer 1

Answer:

he had profit of rs 250 .

Step-by-step

total bananas bought in dozen = 1200/12 = 100

rate of one dozen banana = rs 35

total amount banana bought = 35 x 100 = rs 3500

total bananas ( in dozen ) sold  = 900/12 = 75

rate of the bananas sold = 40

total amount = 40 x 75 = rs 3000

remaning bananas = 1200 - 900 = 300

price of one banana = 5/2

total amount of remaining bananas = 300 x 5/2 = rs. 750

total of banana sold = 3000 + 750 =  3750

profit = 3750 - 3500

= 250

profit % = 250/3500 x 100

= 7.14 %

Answer 2

Answer:

250 rs or 7.14% profit
