Answer 1

Answer:

25 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

loss=20%

selliing price=60 Rs

cost price=selling price + loss

CP=60+(20/100)*CP

therefore CP=75 Rs

Now profit is 40%

profit=SP-CP

(40/100)*CP=SP-CP

(40/100)*75=SP-75

therefore New SP=105 Rs.

105 Rs_____75 mangoes

35 Rs______? mangoes

therefore x=35*75/105

x=25 mangoes is the answer.
