Question

DAY 5 : (a)A man bought 75 mangoes for Rs. 300 and sold 50 mangoes for RS.
300. If he sold all the mangoes at the same price, find his profit or loss.
​

Answer 1

cost of one mango is Rs.4

ie 75x = 300

=>x = Rs.4

he sold the mangoes each at Rs.6

ie 50x = 300

= >x = 6

Therefore if he sold the remaining 25 mangoes at Rs.6 each his total income becomes 150( 25 × 6)

Hence he would get a profit of Rs.50
