the Answer According to me will be a 16.66%

Answer 2

Given:

The cost price of $20$ oranges = Rs: $100$

The selling price of each orange = Rs: $6$

To find:

The profit percentage of the selling price

To find:

$Profit\;percentage\;=\;\frac{Selling\;price\;-\;Cost\;price}{Selling\;price}\;\times\;100$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost price of $20$ oranges = Rs: $100$

The cost price of $1$ orange = $100\;\div\;20\;=\;5$

⇒ The cost price of $1$ orange is Rs: $5$

Since the selling price is Rs: $6$ the profit gained is

⇒ Profit = Seling price - Cost price

⇒ Profit = $6\;-\;5\;=\;1$

$Profit\;percentage\;=\;\frac{Selling\;price\;-\;Cost\;price}{Selling\;price}\;\times\;100$

$Profit\;percentage\;=\;\frac16\;\times\;100$

$Profit\;percentage\;=\;0.1666\;\times\;100$

$Profit\;percentage\;=\;16.66%$%

Answer:

$16.66$% of the selling price is the profit
