Answer 1

Answer:

She sold +4+ kg for as much as she paid for +5+ kg

+4%2F5+=+1%2F%28+5%2F4+%29+

She sold +1+ kg for as much as she paid for +5%2F4+ kg

-----------------------

She actually sold +50+-+5+=+45+ kg

She sold +1%2A45+ kg for as much as she paid for +%285%2F4%29%2A45+ kg

She sold +45+ kg for as much as she paid for +56.25+ kg

-------------------------------

I'll say the price/kg that she bought them at was +100+ monetary units/kg

+50%2A100+=+5000+ monetary units was the buying price for +50+ kg

--------------------------------

+56.25%2A100+=+5625+ monetary units was the selling price for +45+ kg

--------------------------------

Her profit was +5625+-+5000+=+625+ monetary units

The % profit was:

+%28+625%2F5000+%29%2A100+=+12.5+

12.5% profit
