A man purchased 7 oranges in Rs.13 and sold 10 oranges in Rs.16. Find his profit or loss percentage.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Qty. Rs.
CP 7 13
SP 10 16
⇒ Make quantity equal
Qty. Rs.
CP 10× (7 13)
SP 7× (10 16)
⇒ Qty. Rs.
CP 70 130
SP 70 112
CP (130) > SP (112) and the difference is Rs.18
So loss = \(\frac{18 × 100}{130}\) = 13\(\frac{11}{13}\)%
