Mohini bought 590 kg potatoes. 5kg was found broken and she threw them away .she told the remaining and charged for 4 kg as much as she said for 5 kg .find the gain or loss percent
Answers
Answer:
Let the CP of potatoes be ₹x/kg
the SP of potatoes be rs y/kg
SP of 4kg=CP of 5kg
→4y=5x→y=5x/4........(I)
total amt. spent on potatoes=₹590%
Total amt. earned from selling potatoes=₹585y=585(5x/4) =731.25
Since, the S.P is greater than CP
She earned profit=731.25-590x=141.25x
Profit%= Profit/C.P × 100
= (141.25x/590x) × 100
= 23.94% (approx)

Answer:
let the CO of potatoes be X/kg
theS.P of potatoes be Rs y/kg
S.P of 4 kg =5×=> y =5x/r -(1)
Total AMT. spent on Potatoes=Rs. 590x
Total AMT . earned from selling Potatoes=Rs. 585y =585(5×/4)=731.25×
Since , the S.P >C.P,
she earn profit=S.P-C.P=732.25×-590×=141.25×
Profit%=Profit/C.P×100
=(141.25x/590x)×100
=23.94% (approx)
