Answer 2

Answer:

It is a profit

profit % = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say

cost price of 30 apples =  selling price of 25 apples = 100 rupees

Now, we need to compare the price for same number of apples then only we can say if it is profit or loss

------------------

selling price of 25 apples = 100 rupees

selling price of 30 apples = (100/25) * 30 = 120 rupees

-------------------------

Because cost price of 30 apples = 100 rupees

It is a profit = SP - CP = 120 - 100 = 20 Rupees

profit % = (profit/CP) * 100 = (20/100 ) * 100 = 20%
