Question

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

6%.

Explanation:

For arguments sake lets assume each fruit cost $1.

He spent $50 for the fruit.

His income from the 30 kg he sold was $35.

His income from the remaining 20Kg was $18.

Total income = $35 + $18 = $53

So his profit was 53 - 50 = $3.

= (3/50) * 100

= 6%
