Question

Samar bought 50 kg of onions for 500. If he sold the onions at 12 per kg, what was his
calculate his profit percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The profit percentage after selling onion is 20% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price of 50 kg of onions = Rs 500

So, The price of 1 kg of onion = $\frac{500}{50}$

i.e The price of 1 kg of onion = Rs 10

Or The cost price of onion c.p = Rs 10 per kg

Again

The selling price of onion = s.p = Rs 12 per kg

Let The profit percentage = p%

According to question

Profit percentage = $\frac{selling price - cost price}{cost price}$ × 100

Or, p% = $\frac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}$

Or, p% = $\frac{12-10}{10}$

Or, p% = $\frac{2}{10}$

Or, p =  $\frac{2}{10}$ × 100

i.e p = 20

So, The profit percentage = p = 20%

Hence, The profit percentage after selling onion is 20% . Answer

Answer 2

The profit percent of onion is 20 percent (%).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The price of 50 kg of onions = Rs. 500

∴ The price of 1 kg of onion = Rs. $\dfrac{500 }{50}$ = Rs. 10

To find, the profit percent of onion = ?

The selling price of onion (S.P.) = Rs 12 per kg

∴ Profit = S.P. - C.P.

= Rs 12 - Rs. 10 = Rs. 2

∴ The profit percent =$\dfrac{2}{10} \times 100$

= 2 × 10

= 20 %

Thus, the profit percent of onion is 20 percent (%).
