Question

Jawed sells 2,000 mangoes in a week. he recovers his total cost by selling first 1,200 mangoes. he sells the next 300 mangoes for a loss of 20% and he sells the last 500 mangoes for a loss of 40%. what is his overall percentage of profit?

Answer 1

lets take price of each mango be 12 ruppees each then total cost is 24000 ruppees so he earns 24000 by selling 1200 mangos at rate of 20 each. so he gets 2820 by selling next 300 mangos and 3600 by selling last 500 mangos so net profit is 6420 ruppees hence profit %=6420/24000×100=17.83%
