Question

selling price of 36 oranges is equal to cost price of 48 oranges. Find profit or loss percent
​

Answer 1

The profit percentage is 33.33%

Given data :

SP of 36 oranges = CP of 48 oranges

Let,the CP of one orange = x

So, CP of 48 oranges = 48x

And, SP of 36 oranges = 48x

SP of one orange = 48x/36 = 24x/18 = 12x/9 = 4x/3

Now,the SP is greater than CP,so the deal is a profitable deal.

Deal's profit = (4x/3 - x) = x/3

Profit percentage = {100× (x/3)/x)} = (100× x/3 × 1/x) = 100/3 = 33.33 % (ANSWER)
