Profit and Loss

Question:

Apples were purchased at 100 for Rs. 350 and sold at Rs. 48 a dozen. What is the profit or loss percentage?

Options:

Profit $14\frac{2}{7}$ %

Loss $18\frac{3}{5}$ %

Loss 10%

Profit 12%

Correct Answer:

Profit $14\frac{2}{7}$ %

Explanation:

Cost price of 100 apples = 350

Selling price of 12 apples = 48

Selling price of 100 apples =  \(\frac{48}{12}\) × 100 = 400

Profit% =  \(\frac{400 - 350}{350}\) × 100 = Profit $14\frac{2}{7}$ %
