Question

Asha buys a certain number of oranges at 12 per ₹9. If she sells them at 18 per ₹15, does she gain or lose and by what percentage?

Answer 1

Answer:5.6% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Rs9=12 oranges

Re 1=(12/9) 0ranges

Rs 15=(12/9)×15=20 0ranges

But for Rs 15 he sells 18 oranges.

Therefore profit = 2 oranges

=Rs 2×(9/12)=Rs1.5

Cost of 18 oranges=18×9/12=26.5

Gain%=( gain/cp)×100%

=(1.5/26.5)×100%

=(15/265)×100=0.056×100

=5.6%
