Question

If a man purchases some apples at the rate of 4 apples for * 5 and sells them at the rate
of 5 apples for * 4, How much profit or loss does he make?​

Answer 1

Answer:

LCM of 4and 5=20

Let the no of apples bought be 20

Cost of 4 apples=Rs 5

Therefore, cost of 1 apple =Rs 5/4

Therefore, cost of 20 apple

=Rs 5/4×20=Rs 25

Sp of 5 apples =Rs 4

Therefore, Sp of 1 apple=Rs 4/5

Therefore, Sp of 20 apple

=Rs4/5×20=16

Therefore, loss =(cp-sp) =Rs(25-16)=Rs 9

Therefore, loss%=9/25×100=36%
