Question

by selling 250 oranges ,a man gains the selling price of 50oranges .find the profit percentage​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price of each orange be ₹ x.

$\therefore$ Selling Price of 250 oranges = 250 x

Now,

Gain = selling price of 50 oranges = 50 x

Cost price of 250 oranges

= Selling price - gain

=250 x - 50 x

= 200 x

$Profit \: percentage \\ = \frac{gain}{cost \: price} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{50x}{200x} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{50}{2} \\ \\ = 25 \%$

Thus, Profit percentage = 25%
