Question

Cost price of 6 apples equal to selling price of 5 apples find the profit and loss percent.

Answer 1

According to the question the cost price of 6 apples is equal to the selling price of 5 apples.

So, it can be concluded that the cost price is more than that of the selling price so, there might be a loss.

Let, the cost price of 1 apple be, 'n'

So, the cost price of 5 apples = (n×5)

                                                 = 5n

The cost price of 6 apples = (n×6)

                                            = 6n

According to the question, the selling price of 6 apples is 5n.

So, loss = (6n-5n)

             = n

∴ Loss% =  (n×100)/6n

              =(100/6)

              = 16.66 %

∴ The loss is 16.66%.
