Question

Gopal bought 60 kg of mangoes at 48 per kg. He sold 70% of the mangoes at
60 per kg and the remaining mangoes at 35 per kg. Find Gopal's gain or loss per
cent on the whole deal.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gain percent is 12.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

60 kg mangoes at 48 per kg means

60×48

=₹2880

Therefore he buy total mangoes of ₹2880

If he sold 70 % of mangoes at 60 per kg

70 % of 60 kg is

= 42 kg

42 kg cost

So, 42 × 60

= ₹2520

Remaining mangoes means 60 - 42

= 18 kg

He sold 18 kg at 35 per kg

So, 18 × 35

= ₹630

Total mangoes he sold at cost of

2520 + 630

= ₹3150

The cost price he bought total mangoes is ₹ 2880

Absolutely, He got the profit

3150 - 2880

= ₹ 370

He got profit of ₹ 370

But we want to find the profit percent

So, 370 × 100

2880

= 3700

288

= 12.84 %

Therefore the profit percent is 12.84 %
