Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of fresh mangoes + Cost of packaging = Total cost

Let initial Cost of fresh, mangoes = 100

Then, packaging cost = 40

Thus, Initial total cost = 100 + 40 = 140

After increasing in cost of fresh mangoes 30%,

Cost of fresh mangoes = 130

And cost of packing go down by 50 % so,

Cost of packing = 20

Now Total cost = 130 + 20 = 150

Increased cost = 150 - 140 = 10

% increased = =10×100140=7.14%
