Question

Answer 1

✒Given

I) Oranges are bought at 5 for ₹10

II) Oranges are sold at 6 for rupees 15

✒To Find

The Gain Percentage

☞Solution

Oranges are bought at 5 for ₹10

Cost of 5 oranges is ₹10

So,cost of one orange = 5 ÷ 10 = ₹2

So the cost of 6 oranges=2 × 6= ₹12

So,

Cost of 6 oranges is ₹12

Cost price = c.p = 12

Selling Price =s.p = 15

So,

Profit

= s.p − c.p

= 15 − 12

= ₹3

$profit\% = \frac{profit \times 100}{c.p} \\ \implies \frac{3 \times 100}{12} \\ \implies \frac{ \cancel{3} \times 100}{ \cancel{12}} \\ \implies \frac{100}{4} \\ \implies \frac{ \cancel{100}}{ \cancel{4}} \\ \implies 25 \%$

∴ ,

The profit % is 25%
