Question

If lemon is sold at 12 lemons per rupee, there is profit of 25%, then how many lemons rupee were purchased ?​

Answer 1

Given:

• Lemon is sold at 12 lemons per rupee.
• Profit = 25%

To Find:

• How many lemons rupee were purchased?

Solution:

Given,

• CP = 12
• Profit = 25%

As we know that

$\sf \: sp = \frac{cp \times (100 + profit \: percent)}{100}$

Now substitute the values

$\sf \implies \: sp = \frac{12 \times (100 + 25)}{100} \\ \\ \sf \implies \: sp = \frac{12 \times 125}{100} \\ \\ \sf \implies \: sp = 15$

Hence,15 lemons rupee were purchased.
