A vendor buys apples at 10 for ₹120 and sells them at 8 for ₹100. What is his profit or loss percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Cost price of 10 apples = ₹120
Selling price of 8 apples = ₹100
Cost price per apple = 120 / 10 = ₹12
Cost price of 8 apples = 8 × 12 = ₹96
Profit = 100 − 96 = ₹4
Profit % =(496)×100=4.17%= \left(\frac{4}{96}\right)\times 100 = 4.17\%
