A man bought 15 mango at Rs.36 for 5 mango and sold all of them at four mango for Rs.45. How much did the man earn or lose in this transaction?

• Rs.36 for 5 mango
  therefore for 15 mango cost Rs.108
  he sold Rs.45 for 4 mango
  therefore for 12 mango cost = 45*3 = 135
  for 1 mango cost = 45/4 = 11.25
  for 3 mango cost = 11.25 * 3 = 33.75
  for 15 mango = (12 mango + 3 mango) = 135 + 33.75 = 168.75
  therefore he earn the money of ( 168.75 - 108 ) = Rs. 60.75

• Cp-->(36/5)*15=108
  SP-->(45/4)*15=168.75
  
  So,gain = (168.75-108.00)=60.75
