Question

Mr pemba bought 600 mangoes for Rs 2625. After opening the pack , he found 5 mangoes rotten . He sold the remaining for Rs 5.25 each. Find his gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

Given :-

• Mr pemba bought 600 mangoes for Rs2625

• After opening the pack, he found 5 mangoes rotten.

Solution :-

Cost Price of 600 mangoes = Rs 2625

CP of 1 mango = Rs 5.25

As five mangoes were rotten

Therefore ,

600 - 5 = 595 mangoes left

Now,

Selling price of 595 mangoes = 5.25 * 595

SP of 595 mangoes = 3123.75

Here,

SP is more than CP it means he gains profit

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = Rs 498.75

Profit % = Profit / CP * 100

Profit % = 498.75 / 2625 * 100

Profit % = 19

Hence, He gains 19% profit after solding remaining mangoes $.$

Answer 2

${\boxed{\underline{\tt{ \orange{Required \: \: Answer:-}}}}}$

彡GIVEN:-

• C.P. of 600 Mangoes = Rs. 2625

• C.P. of 1 Mango = Rs. 5.25

彡TO FIND:-

• Gain or Loss percent.

彡SOLUTION:-

According to question,

5 Mangoes are Rotten, So he selled

$: \implies \tt{600-5 = 595}$

So, He sold 595 Mangoes

1 mango cost = Rs. 5.25

So, 595 Mangoes Cost = 595 × 5.25

595 Mangoes Cost = Rs. 3123.75

Now, SP > CP

Therefore , there is profit.

Profit = Sp - Cp

Profit = 3123.75 - 2625

${ \boxed{ \underline{ \mathbb{ \pink{Profit = 498.75}}}}}$

$\tt{Profit \% = \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100}$

$Profit \% = \: \frac{498.75}{2625} \times 100$

$: \implies{ \boxed{ \underline{ \mathtt{ \purple{Profit\% = 19\%}}}}}$
