Question

guys iam begging please answer the question properly.

A basket, contains 180 pears bought at Rupees 5 each. Due to poor weather 15 pears got spoilt. If the remaining pears were sold at Rupees 1350 find the overall profit or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer:

0.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pears = 180 .

Cost price of each pear = Rs 5 .

Total cost price = Rs 180 × 5

                          = Rs 900 .

15 pears got spoilt .

Number of spears remaining = 180 - 15 = 165

Remaining pears were sold at Rs 1350 .

S.P of each pear = Rs 1350 / 165

                            = Rs 90 / 11

S.P > C.P

Profit of each pear = Rs 90 / 11 - 5

                               = Rs ( 90 - 55 ) / 11

                               = Rs 35 / 11

Profit % =  35/11 / 900 × 100

= 35 / 99 %

= 0.353 % approx
