Question

If C.P. of 3 apples is same of the S.P. of 2 apples, the gain or loss per cent on the transaction is-​

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

let CP of 3apple =X

As CP of 3 apple = SP of 2 apple

SP of two apple =X

sp of 1 apple =X/2

sp of 3 apple =3X/2

so sp of 3 apple =3X/2 and cp of 3 apple is =X

profit= (3x/2)-(X)

=X/2

profit % =(X/2)×100

=50%

Answer 2

cp of 3 apple = sp of 2 apple

cp of 1 apple = x/3

sp of 1 apple = x/2

gain = sp-cp

       =x/2 - x/3

       =x/6(prime factorisation)

      profit % = gain/cp X 100

                  = (x/6)/(x/3) x 100 = 50  = 50%
