Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of 12 bananas = rs 3.75

cost of 1 banana = 3.75/12

cost of 1600 bananas = 1600*3.75/12= rs. 500

s p. of bananas

first case,

s.p. of 2 bananas = rs. 1

s.p. of 1 banana = rs. 0.5

s p. of 900 bananas = rs.0.5*900 = 450

second case,

no.of bananas = 1600-900 = 700

cost of 5 bananas = rs. 2

cost of 1 banana = rs.0.4

cost of 700 bananas = rs 0.4*700= 280

total selling price = 450+280

= 730

c.pSo, their is gain

gain percent = x

s.p.-c.p./c. p.*100 = x

730-500/500*100=x

230/500*100=46

x = 46%

Therefore, gain percent = 46%
