Question

Answer 1

Answer:

profit=9.375%

Step-by-step explanation:

cp of 65kg apple=48/kg

cp=60*48=2880

sp of 70% of apple=60/kg

70% of 60 kg apple=(70/100)*60=

42kg apple=60/kg

sp=42*60=2520

cp of 42 kg apple=2016

profit=sp-c

2520-2016=504

profit%=profit*100/cp

=(504*100)/2520=20%

30% of 60 kg apple=(30/100)*60=18kg apple

sp of 18 kg apple=35/kg=18*35=630

cp=18*48=864

therefor cp is greter than sp, it is loss

loss=cp-sp=864-630=234

loss%=(loss*100)/cp=(234*100)/864

=27.08

total sp=2520+630=3150

total cp=2880

therefor sp is greter thn cp, it is profit

profit=sp-cp=3150-2880=270

profit%=(profit*100)/cp=(270*100)/2880

=9.375%
