-
- 13sa=26cm where sa=selling price of apple
and cm=cost price of mango
from here we get equation 1- sa=2cm
now,16sm=12ca
sm=selling price of mangoes
ca=costing price of apple
from here we get,eq 2- ca=4/3*sm
profit%=profit/cp of mango *100
20=(sm-cm)/cm*100
0.2*cm=sm-cm
1.2cm=sm
profit=(sa-ca)/ca*100
using above 2 equations:
profit=(4/3sm-cm)/cm
using sm=1.2cm
profit=(4/3*1.2cm)-cm/cm
profit=3/5
profit%=3/5*100
