Question

if the selling price of 25 oranges is same as the cost price of 40 oranges find the profit or loss percentage ​

Answer 1

Let the cost of one orange be x

therefore 40 oranges = 40x

= sp of 25= same as the cost price of 40 oranges

= sp of 25 oranges=40x

Therefore $\frac{40x}{25}$ is the sp of one orange

= $\frac{40x}{25}$= 1.6x=sp

therefore sp is greater

therefore profit.
