Question

Cp of 15 apples is equal to sp of 18 apples and further discount on 3 apples is equal to loss of 6 apples.What's the profit. Or loss if he sold atmp

Answer 1

Answer:

cost price of 15 apple is equal to selling price of 18 apple

CP: SP = 15:18

=>  5:6

If the cost price of 1 apple is 5, selling price of 1 apple is 6 and loss is 1. Therefore,

Loss percentage  =   1×100/5

=> 20%

if cost price of 3 apples  is 5, selling price of 3 apples is 6 and loss on 3 apples is 1

discount on 3 apples =loss on 6 apples = 2

=> Marked price on 3 apples =6+2=8

Discount % = 2×100/8= 25%

required difference = 25%-20%= 5%
