Question

Mrs. Rokaya bought 2 quintals of apples in Jumla for Rs 17,000. She paid Rs 15 per kg for the transportation from Jumla to Nepalgunj. 10 kg of apples were
damage and she sold the remaining quantity at Rs 120 per kg. Calaculate her profit or loss percent in the total transaction.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2 quintals = 200 kg

C. P. of Apples= 17000 Rs.

Transportation Charges = 15 ×200= 3000 Rs.

Total CP = Actual CP + overhead Expenses

= 17000+3000= 20000 Rs.

Damaged Apples= 10 Kg

Remaining Apples = 200-10= 190 Kg

SP of 1 kg apples = 120 Rs

Total SP= 120×190= 22800 Rs.

Because SP > CP

So, Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 22800 - 20000 Rs = 2800 Rs.

Now,

$Profit\% = \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100 \\ = \frac{2800}{20000} \times 100 \\ = \frac{280000}{20000} \\ = \frac{28}{2} \\ = 14\% \: profit$
