Question

Friut seller bought 10 boxes of grapes at rs.210 each.one box was damaged.he sold the remaining boxes at rs.250.find the profit loss percentage

Answer 1

Answer:

percentage profit is 19 %

Explanation:

cost price = 210 × 9 ( because one is damaged)

cost price =  1890

sale price = 250 × 9 = 2250

As sale price is greater than cost price so, profit is gained.

profit = 360

percentage profit  = profit / cost price ×100 %

             = 360 / 1890

              = 19 %

Answer 2

Answer: 7.14%

Explanation:

CP = 210 x 10 = 2100

SP = 250 x 9 =2250

Profit = 2250-2100 = 150

P % = (Profit x100)/CP

      = (150 x100)/2100

      = 7.14%
