Question

cp if 24 apples is same as sp of 18 apples. what is percentage profit

Answer 1

cp of 24 apples =24 Rs
cp of 1 apple= 1/24
so of 18 apples= 18rs
sp of 1 apple= 1/18
percent of profit = 1/18 - 1/24
LCM of 18,24 is 72
profit percent = 4×1 -3×1/72
= 4-3/72
= 1/72/1/24 ×100
24/72 × 100
1/3 × 100
33.33% is profile percent

Answer 2

24cp=18sp
6/18 ×100
1/3×100
33.33%
