2) find the cost of rotten mangoes

4) find gain or loss%​

Answer 1

1) Rs. 4.38

2) Rs. 21.9

3) Rs. 3570

4) percentage gain = 36%

Explanation:

1)

cost of 600 mangoes = Rs. 2625

cost of 1 mango = 2625/600 = Rs. 4.38

2)

rotten mangoes = 5

cost of rotten mangoes = 5 * cost of 1 mango

= 5 * 4.38 = Rs. 21.9

3)

sale price of remaining mangoes = ?

1 mango's sale price = Rs. 6

remaining mangoes = 595

remaining mangoes sale price = 6 * 595 = Rs. 3570

4)

600 mangoes bought at Rs. 2625

595 mangoes sold at Rs. 3570

gain = 3570 - 2625 = Rs. 945

percentage gain = 945/2625 * 100

= 36%
