Question

Cost of 5 apples is Rs 50, Selling price of 3 apple is RS 36 find the profit %

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

CP of 300 apples = Rs 50 per dozen

300 apples = 12300 dozen

i.e 25 dozen

1 dozen = Rs 50

25 dozen = Rs (25×50)

= Rs 1250

∴ CP of 300 applies = Rs 1250

overall profit % should be 12%

∴ profit = 10012×CP

=10012×1250= Rs 150

∴ SP should be 1250 + 150 = Rs 1400

Now,

SP of 200 apples = Rs 50 per 10 apple

SP of 200 apples = 1050×200= Rs 1000

Now he has to make Rs 400 (1400 - 1000) by selling

last 100 apples

∴ SP of 100 apples = Rs 400

SP of 1 apple = 100400

= Rs 4

Answer 2

Question:

Cost of five apples is Rs 50. Selling price of 3 apple is Rs 36. Find the profit

Solution:

Cp of 5 apples= Rs.50

Cp of 1 apple= Rs.(50/5)

=Rs. 10

Sp of 3 apples= Rs.36

Sp of 1 apple=Rs.(36/3)

=Rs.12

Profit=Sp-Cp

=Rs.(12-10)

= Rs.2

Profit%=

$profit\% = \frac{p}{cp} \times 100 \\ p\% = \frac{2}{10} \times 100 \\ p\% = 20\%$

Answer= 20%
