Question

Find the gain percent of a person who sells 160 apples for the cost of 184 apples.

Answer 1

first of all find the LCM of 184 and 160 that is = 7360
let cp of 184 apples = 7360
cp of 1 apple = 7360/184 = 40 RS
sp of 160 apples = 7360
sp of 1 apple = 7360/160= 46 RS
profit = 46-40=6 Rs
profit % = (profit / cp )*100
profit = (6/40)*100 = 15%
