Question

E) A fruitseller bought 50 kg of fruits. He sold 30 kg of fruits for the cost price of

35 kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost price of 18 kg of
fruits. Calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.​

Answer 1

let the price of fruits be X per kg

cp of 50kg of friuts =50x

he sells 30kg of fruits on its cp of 35 kg

cp of 30kg fruits=30x

sp of 30kg fruits=35x

remaing fruits is 20kg

he sells 20kg of fruits on cp of 16kg

cp of 20kg fruits=20x

sp of 20kg fruits =16x

total cp is =50x

total sp is =(35+16) =51x

sp>cp(it means profit)

profit =sp-cp

=51-50

= 1

profit%=gain/cp × 100

= 1/50×100

=2%
