Answer»

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 ... :)
