Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 15 cartoons of mangoes is 250.

then cost of 1carton =250/15 or 16.67

5 cartons of mangoes are sold with Rs. 25 profit.

cost=5*16.67 plus 25 =108.33

and 7cartoons of mangoes are sold with profit Rs.30

cost =7*16.67plus 30 =146.67

total cost=255

gain =SP --CP

gain=255 -- 250

gain=5

gain percentage =profit *100/CP or 5*100/250 or 2 percent ans
