Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Cost of 1 mango : ₹5

Cost of 80 mangoes : ₹5 *80 = ₹400

So, his/her total cost price is ₹400

now, he/she sold them at ₹8 per mango... It means behind one mango he/she earns profit of ₹3

now total selling price of mangoes = ₹8 *80 = ₹640

total profit profit he/she makes : (SP-CP) = (640 - 400) = ₹240

profit % = (profit ÷ cp) * 100

(240 ÷ 400) * 100

(0.6) * 100

60 %

hence, he/she makes total profit of 60 % .
