Question

If the SP of 6 lemons is the same as the CP of 8 lemons, find the profit or loss per cent.

Answer 1

MARK ME BRAINLIEST.

Let the no. be 'x'

CP of 8 lemons = 8x

CP of 1 lemons = x/8

SP of 6 lemons = 6x

SP of 1 lemons = x/6

Therefore,

Profit = SP - CP

= x/6 - x/8 = 4x - 3x/24 = x/24

Thus,

Profit % = Profit/CP *100

=x/24 divided by x/8 *100 =x*8*100/24*x

= 100/3

= 33.33

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the SP of each lemon be x and CP of each lemon be y.

Given,

6x=8y

⟹yx=68

Profit%=xx−y×100⟹68−6×100=33.33%
