Question

raghav purchased 100 apples at the rate of ruppees 4 per apple. He sold 60%of the apples at the rate of ruppees 5 per apple and the remaining apples at the rate of ruppees 4 per apple. Find his overall gain or loss percent. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 apples * 4= 400 Rs....= CP

60% apples = 60 apples

60×5=120 Rs.

remaining apples= 40

40×4=160 Rs.

Therefore,

Total SP= 160+120=280= SP

Therefore it is a loss, as CP is greater than SP.

Loss percent= (CP-SP/CP) ×100

= 400-280=120

(120/400)× 100

= 30% Loss.
