Question

Cp of 5 mangoes is equal of sp of 4 mangoes find the profit or loss%

Answer 1

let the c.p to be rs1 of one mango
then c.p of 5 mango=rs 5
so sp = c.p of 5 mangoes ,=rs5

so profit = sp-cp
=5-4
=1rs
profit %=p/c.p×100
1/4×100
=25%

Answer 2

C.P of 5 mangoes= S.P of 4 mangoes.
Let cost price of 1 mango be Rs.1
So, Cost price of 5 mangoes= Rs.5
Selling price of 4 mangoes=Rs.5.
Gain=S.P - C.P
=5-4=1
Gain%=(Gain/C.P)*100
=(1/4)*100
=25%
