Answer» ong>Answer: Step-by-step explanation: CP of 1 mango = Re 1.
So CP of 80 mangoes = Rs 80.
Number of mangoes which became ROTTEN = 10.
Number of mangoes available for sale = 70.
SP of 1 mango = Rs 1.50.
SP of 70 mangoes = 1.50 X 70 = Rs 105.
Since SP > CP there is profit.
Profit = SP - CP = 105 - 80 = Rs 25 (b) 25% is the answer ... :) #Pari Here... |
