If he sells 40 mangoes, he will get the selling price of 4 mangoes extra, What is his % increase in profit ?

• is this wrong ??
  
  let sp of 40 mango= 40s
  let cp of 40 mango= 40c
  acc qes.,
  40s=40c+4s
  => 40c= 36s ---- i
  his profit= 4s
  
  (4s/40c)*100 = (4s/36s)*100 = (1/9)*100= 11.11%

• let s.p of one mango be x
  s.p of 40 mangoes = 40x
  profit (selling 40 mangoes)=4x
  c.p = 40x - 4x = 36x
  p% = (4x/36x)*100 = 11.11 %

• sp of 40 mango - cp of 40 mango=sp of 4 mango
  Sp of 36 mango= cp of 40 mango
  Let cp of a mango be Re 1
  Profit = 4/40 * 100
  = 10%

• (4/40)*100=10%

• % increase in profit is 10%
  (44-40/40)*100%=10% ans.

• 40sp=40cp+4sp
  36sp=40cp
  sp=40/36cp
  Sp=1/9cp
  (1/9cp-cp)/cp=11.11%
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
• like others explained, 36 SP = 40 CP
  
  formulae is (difference/ SP) * 100
  i.e.
  (4/36) * 100 = 11.11% gain(because SP is smaller than cp and 4 extra will be counted as gain)

• sell 40 mango, and get 4 mango extra means
  now total mango is 44.
  so sure it has profit.
  now the cost price is 40
  and selling price is 44
  so % profit=(44-40)/40*100=10%
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(5)
• LET cost PRICE OF 1 mango=rs1
  price of 40 mangoes=rs.44
  original price of 40 mangoes=40
  profit=(44-40)/40*100=4*100/40=10

• it is 25% suppose 40 mangoes of 100rs then 4 mangoes prize will be 25rs
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(7)
• let selling prize of 1 mango=1rs
  cp of 1 mango=1rs
  s.p of 40 mangoes=44rs
  s.p-c.p=profit
  44-44=4
  profit%=(4*100)/40
  =10%

• 10%
  if one mango for 1rs.
  then 40 mangos for 40 rs.
  (4/40)*100=10%

• s.p of 40 mango-c.p of 40 mgo=s.p of 4 mgo
  sp 36=cp 40
  let cp 1 mgo=1 rupees
  cp=36 and sp=40
  profit%=4/36(100)%=11.11
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• 
  40(s-c)=4s
  therefore c/s=9/10
  therefore s/c=10/9
  so (s-c)/c=1/9,,,ans =100/9=11.11

• assume 36 mangoes =100%
  so,
  36 = 100%
  40 = x
  x=(40*100)/36
  x=111.11%
  therefore,
  111.11-100= 11.11%

• let sp of 40 mangoes =40
  
  then, sp pf 1 mango = 1
  his profit is sp of 4 mangoes i.e 4
  
  his total cp=s.p-p
  =36
  
  so,
  (4/36)*100=11.11%

• 10 PERCENT IS CORRECT...

• LET cost PRICE OF 1 mango=rs1
  price of 40 mangoes=rs.44
  original price of 40 mangoes=40
  profit=(44-40)/40*100=4*100/40=10

• Let CP of 40 mangoes be=Rs.40.
  But SP of 40 mangoes=CP of 40 mangoes + SP of 4 mangoes.
  i.e SP of 36 mangoes =CP of 40 mangoes =Rs.40
  thus SP of 4 mangoes=40/9
  %profit =(Profit/CP)*100 = ((40/9)/40)*100=100/9=11.11%

• Suppose 1 mango = m Rs
  Then 40 mango = 40m Rs
  but he will get 44m Rs
  so, 4/40=x/100 gives x= 10%
