Answer 1

Answer:

10% profit or losss. i am not abel to understand

Answer 2

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of oranges purchased be 100

Let the Cost of 1 orange be one rupee

Hence, cost of 100 oranges is Rs. 100/-

LOT 1

Given, Selling price (S.P) of 50 oranges is Rs. 100/-

Profit % = (sp-cp)/cp*100

Profit % = (100 - 50)/50* 100 = 100%

LOT 2

No. of oranges sold in 2nd lot, 60% of balance 50% = 30 nos

Half of earlier profit = 100/2 = 50%

S.P of 30 oranges = 30* 150% = Rs. 45/-

LOT 3

S.P of thrown away 20 oranges = 0

(100 - 50 - 30)

Answer:

Hence, profit % will be

Profit % = (sp-cp)/cp*100

= {(100+45+0) - 100}/100*100

= 45 %
