Question

If a man sells 40 mangoes,he wil get the s.P of 4 extra mangoes,what is the profit percentage?

Answer 1

hey this the correct answer please rate it a 5 star

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks  

like their math isn't good and is extremely complex to  

have an answer of 25% to this question. Consider - Rs.1.00/-

per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-  

extra at the end of the deal. So he's left with Rs.44.00/-  

after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over  

Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%
