Question

if the cost price of 24 oranges is equal to sale price of 18 oranges,then find the profit %.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Profit of 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

if the cost price of 24 oranges is equal to sale price of 18 oranges,

CP of 24 oranges=SP of 18 oranges

CP/SP=18/24

CP/SP=3/4

Profit=((SP-CP)/CP)*100

Profit=(1/4)*100

Profit=25%

Answer 2

Answer:

Simple job.

Let cp of 21 oranges be 21 ₹ . So cp of one orange is ₹1.

Now sp of 18 oranges is 21, so one orange is sold for 21/18 i.e. 7/6 . so profit per orange is 7/6 -1= 1/6

So % profit will be 1/6 ×100 =16.67.

Otherwise there's profit of 3 oranges over 18 i.e.1/6 =16.67%
