Question

if the selling price of 25 mangoes is equal to the cost price of 15 mangoes find the profit or loss percentage​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price of each mango be rs.1

then,

cp of 15 mangoes =Rs.15

sp of 25 mangoes =Rs.25

now,

gain%=sp-cp=Rs(25-15)=Rs.10

gain%=(gain/cp*100)%=(10/25*100)%=40%

Answer 2

The loss percentage is 40%

Given:

The selling price of 25 mangoes is equals to the cost price of 15 mangoes

To find:

Find the profit or loss percentage​

Solution:

Let cost price of each Mango = 1 Rupee

⇒ Cost price of 15 mangoes = 15 Rs

⇒ Cost price of 25 mangoes = 25 Rs

From given data

Selling price of 25 Mangoes = 15 Rs  

Here  Selling price of 25 < Cost price of 25 mangoes

⇒ Loss = Cost price - Selling price

⇒ Loss = 25 Rs - 15 Rs = 10 Rs

Loss percentage = (loss/C.P)(100)

= $\frac{loss}{C.P} (100)$

= $\frac{10}{25} (100)$ = 40%

Therefore, the loss percentage = 40%
