Question

Babita brought 160 kg mangoes at Rs 48per kg .She sold 70% of the mangoes at Rs 70per kg and the remaining mangoes at Rs40 per kg. Find Babita gain or loss per centon the whole dealing

Answer 1

Total CP = 160 * 48 = 7680
70% of 160 = 7/10 * 160 = 7 * 16 =112
SP of 112 mangoes = 112 * 70 = 7840
SP of remaining 48 mangoes = 48 * 40 = 1920
Total SP = 7840 + 1920 = 9760
SP> CP, there is gain
Gain% = SP - CP/CP   * 100 = 9760 - 7680/7680    * 100 = 2080/7680    * 100
             = 2.7083333333333 %
