A fruit seller purchases oranges at the rate of 3 for Rs. 5 and sells them at 2 for Rs. 4. His profit in the transaction is _____?
- 10%
- 25%
- 20%
- 15%
Explanation
Cost price of 3 oranges = Rs. 5Cost price of 1 orange = Rs. 5/3
Selling price of 2 oranges = Rs. 4
Selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 4/2 = Rs. 2
Profit per orange = Selling price - Cost price = 2 - 5/3 = (6 - 5)/3 = 1/3
Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) × 100% = (1/3) / (5/3) × 100% = 1/5 × 100% = 20%
