Answer 1

6 banana = 450 1 banana = 75 it's cp

5 banana = 525 1 banana = 105 it's sp

profit = sp- cp / cp *100

105-75/75*100

40%

Answer 2

Answer:

The seller has a 40% gain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Cost price of 6 bananas = 450p

and the selling price of 5 bananas = 525p

We need to find the gain percent.

We cannot compare the prices of unequal quantities

Therefore, we find the prices of 1 banana

=> Cost price of 1 banana = 450/6

                                           = 75p

=> Selling price of 1 banana = 525/5

                                           = 105p

As Selling price > Cost price, he has a profit

Profit/Gain = Selling price - Cost price

                  = 105p - 75p

                  = 30p

We know that Gain% = $\frac{Gain}{Cost Price}$ * 100

                                   = $\frac{30}{75}$ * 100

                                   = 40%

Therefore, the seller has a 40% gain.
