Answer 2

Answer:

She enquired a profit of 750 rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of oranges bought by Mrs Salami= 500

Price of 500 oranges= 7500

Price of 1 orange= 7500÷500= 15 rupees

No. of oranges rotten= 50

Price of 50 oranges= 50×15= 750 rupees

Till now, Mrs. Salami enquired a loss of 750 rupees.

500- 50= 450 oranges

Price at which Mrs Salami sold oranges= 20 rupees per orange

450×20= 9000

9000- 750+7500

9000- 8250

= 750 rupees

She enquired a profit of 750 rs.

Percentage of profit

CP= 15rs

SP= 20rs

Profit= CP-SP

20- 15= 5rs

Profit %= Profit/CP×100

= 5/15×100

33.33%
