Question

I bought 50 kg of apple @ 70rupees per kilo. 5kg apples were found rotten. I sold the rest @80 rupees per kg. Calculate the %of profit or loss..

Answer 1

Answer:

Apple buy =50kg*70=3500

rotten Apple =5kg*70=350

Apple sold =50-5=45

=45*80=3600

find %of profit or loss

total profit =selling price -cost price

than profit =3600-3500=100

=100/3500*100

=2.85%(approx.3%)
