Question

Selling price of 2 oranges in the same as the cost price of 3 oranges. Find the gain%.​

Answer 1

Hey here is your answer

Let the cost price of one orange = x RS.

cost price of 3 oranges = 3x RS.

It is given that Selling price of 2 oranges in the same as the cost price of 3 oranges

So,

selling price of 2 oranges = 3x

selling price of 1 orange = 3x/2 RS.

Total gain percentage =

(selling price - cost price) / cost price × 100

$\frac{( \frac{3x}{2} - x) }{x} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{( \frac{x}{2}) }{x} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{x}{2 \times x} \times 100 \\ \\ \frac{100}{2} \\ \\ 50\%$

here is your answer

hope this helps you thanks
