Question

Seema bought some cricket balls at rupees 250 for 4 balls and sold them for rupees 340 for 5 balls find her gaun or loss percent

Answer 1

Solution :

C.P of 4 balls = ₹ 250

C.P of 1 ball = ₹ 250/4 = ₹ 62.50

S.P of 5 balls = ₹ 340

S.P of 1 ball = ₹ 340/5 = ₹ 68

Here,

S.P > C.P

Hence,

Profit = S.P - C.P

Profit = ₹ 68 - ₹ 62.50 = ₹ 5.50

So,

Profit % = [ Profit/C.P ] × 100

Profit % = [ 5.50/62.50 ] × 100

Profit % = 44/5 % = 8 whole 4/5 %

Hence,

Profit % = 44/5

HERE'S THE ANSWER MATE
