• Just Simple
  Let cost of 20 mangoes be 100 rs (shop keeper brought)
  Let cost of 18 mangoes be 100 ₹ (shop keeper sold)
  When brought, cost of one mango is 5 ₹
  When selling , cost of one mango is 5.555₹
  The difference between selling price and cost price is 0.555₹
  Thus profit percent is calculated by this
  0.555/5 *100
  11.111%~~11.11%
  This its found
