Question

the selling price of 12 oranges is the same as the cost price of the 15 oranges find the profit or loss percent

Answer 1

cp 15 orange
sp 12 orange

3 orange profit

profit % = (3/12)*100

(1/4)*100= 25% (profit)

Answer 2

Given That:
Selling price of 12 oranges = Cost price of 15 oranges

Solution:
Let the CP be ₹100 per orange.
CP of 15 oranges = 15 × 100 = ₹1500.

Then according to the given condition, we get
SP of 12 oranges = ₹1500
Therefore, SP of 1 orange = 1500/12 = ₹125

Therefore, profit = SP of 1 orange - CP of 1 orange = 125 - 100 = ₹25

Therefore, Profit Percentage = (25/100) × 100
= 25%

Hence, Profit is 25%

Hope you got it!
