Question
If 4 kg Almonds, 6 kg of Cashew and 5 kg of Apricot are
sold, then what be the final profit/loss% (approximate) on selling these given transportation cost of Cashew as Rs 25 and profit of 20% on selling Almonds?Solution
SP of Almonds = 750, profit is 20%, So CP of Almonds = `(100/120)xx750` = Rs. 625 Given transportation cost of Cashew is Rs 25, So that CP of Cashew = 225 + 25 + 50 = Rs. 300, Profit is Rs. 250, so SP of Cashew = Rs 550 SP of Apricot = Rs. 550, at 20% profit, CP of Apricot = Rs. 458 So CP of (4 kg of Almonds + 6 kg of Cashew + 5 kg of Apricot) = 4 x 625 + 6 x 300 + 5 x 458 = Rs. 6590 Similarly SP of (4 kg of Almonds + 6 kg of Cashew + 5 kg of Apricot) = 4 x 750 + 6 x 550 + 5 x 550 = Rs. 9050 So profit% = `(2460/6590)xx100` = 37%
