Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1 : Buying

Number of oranges = 5

Cost of 5 oranges  = ₹10

Cost of 1 orange = ₹10/5 = ₹2

Case 2 : Selling

Number of oranges = 6

Amount paid for 5 oranges  = ₹15

Amount paid for 1 orange = ₹15/6 = ₹2.5

Profit : Amount paid for 1 orange-Cost of 1 orange = ₹2.5-₹2 = ₹0.5

Profit percentage = profit/Cost price x 100

                             = (0.5/2 x 100)%

                              = 25%
