Question

A man buys a box of 100 apple in a market for $44. He sells all the apples for $0.5 each. What is his profit or loss? Loss =$ 44 Profit = $6 Profit = $3

Answer 1

Profit = $6

Explanation:

The box of apple that the man bought contained 100 apples.

These 100 apples were gotten for $44

Then he sold the 100 apples for $0.5 each.

So sales price = 0.5 * 100 = $50

To know if he made profit or loss.

Sales price - cost price

$50 - $44

= $6

This man made profit of $6 from the sales of the apples from the calculation above.
