Man brought apples

Question

A man bought 30 kg of apples at the rate of rs.40 per kg.if he could not sell 5 kg of apples due to rotten,find his profit or loss percent after selling the good apples at the rate of 50 per kg

Answer 1

(30 kg)*(40 per kg) = 1200 total cost

 

5kg cannot sell due to rotten, that means it can sell 25 kg

 

 

(25 kg)*(50 per kg) = 1250 total gross income

 

 

profit = gross - cost

 

1250 - 1200 = 50 profit

 

50/1200 = 0.041666...  or 4.17% profit
