Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

(C) 44% profit

● Explaination -

Cost price of each mango is calculated as -

Cost price = total cost / number of mangoes

Cost price = 10 / 12

Cost price = 0.8333 Rs

Selling price of each mango is calculated as -

Selling price = total cost / number of mangoes

Selling price = 12 / 10

Selling price = 1.2 Rs

Profit/loss percentage is -

Profit/loss = (SP-CP)/CP × 100

Profit/loss = (1.2-0.8333)/0.8333 × 100

Profit/loss = +44%

Therefore, shopkeeper had 44 % profit.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
