Question

the selling of 10 oranges is the cost price of 13 oranges. then the profit percent is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Profit% = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello Dear,

SP of 10 oranges = CP of 13 oranges

Let us assume the CP of 1 orange be x.

CP of 1 orange = x

⟹ CP of 13 oranges = 13 × x

⟹ CP of 13 oranges = 13x

Now we are given that,

SP of 10 oranges = CP of 13 oranges

⟹ SP of 10 oranges = 13x

$\implies \textsf{ SP of 1 orange = } \dfrac{13x}{10}$

⟹ SP of 1 orange = 1.3x

As SP > CP so there is profit.

Profit = SP - CP

⟹ Profit = 1.3x - x

$\bf{Profit\% = \dfrac{Profit}{CP} \times 100}$

${ \implies \: Profit\%} = \dfrac{0.3x}{x} \times 100$

${ \implies \: Profit\% = \dfrac{3 \!\! \! \not x}{1\! \!\!\not0 \!\! \!\not x} \times 10 \! \!\! \not0}$

⟹ Profit% = 30%

Therefore, the profit percent is 30%.
