Question

Shanti bought lemons at 7 for 6 and sold them at 6 for 37. (1) Find her profit percentage. (11) How many lemons would she have to sell to earn a profit of 365?​

Answer 1

unit cost price = 6/7 or appr .8571

unit selling price = 7/6 or appr 1.1667

profit per unit = 7/6 - 6/7 = 13/42 = appr .3096

or appr 30.96%

13/42 x = 65

x = 65(42/13) = 209.95

or appr 210

210 lemons must be sold.

hope it helps you
