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

• sp of 40 mangoes - cp of 40 mangoes =sp of 4 mangoes
  sp of 36 mangoes= cp of 40 mangoes
  
  suppose cp of each mango is Re1
  then, cp of 36 mangoes=36 and sp of 36 mangoes = 40
  
  hence ,gain%=(4*100)/36 =11.11

• let sp of 1 mango=1 then sp of 40 mangoes =40
  now given sp of 40 mangoes=sp of 4 mangoes +cp of 40 mangoes
  cp of 40 mangoes =36
  then % profit=4*100/36=11.11

• Let the person sells the mango for Rs. 100 each!
  Then, for 40mangoes= 40*100=4000
  
  Now, it is told that he gets the cost of 4mangoes extra viz, 40+4=44,
  so, CP of 44mangoes=4000
  Cp of a mango= 4000/44=100/11
  Cp of 40 mangoes= 4000/11
  
  Profit= (4000-4000/11)
  So, Profit%= (4000-4000/11)/(4000/11) = 10
  As i have taken the SP as 100 so no need to multiply 100 to get the percentage!

• 40(s-c)=4s
  therefore s/c=10/9
  ans.(s-c)/c=1/9*100=11.12

• Correct answer is 10%
  
  Let the CP of 1 mango be Rs.10.
  
  therefore, CP of 40 mangoes = Rs.400
  
  and SP should have been =Rs.400
  
  but SP of 4 mangoes = Rs.40
  
  so he gets, SP = Rs.440
  
  Profit = SP - CP = 440 - 400 = Rs.40
  
  Profit % = (Profit / CP)*100 = (40/400)*100 = 10 %
