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