A wholesaler gives 21 oranges to the retailer at MRP of 14 oranges. If the retailer sells all the oranges at MRP, find his percentage profit. Correct Answer 50%
Given:
A wholesaler gives 21 oranges to the retailer at MRP of 14 oranges.
Formula used:
Percentage profit = (SP – CP) × 100 / CP = Profit × 100 / CP
Calculation:
Let the MRP of each orange be Rs. 1
Wholesaler gives 21 oranges to the retailer at MRP of 14 oranges
∴ Cost price of 21 oranges for retailer = MRP of 14 oranges
⇒ Rs. 14
According to the question,
Retailer sells all the oranges at MRP
∴ Selling price of 21 oranges for retailer = MRP of 21 oranges
⇒ Rs. 21
Profit% for retailer = (SP – CP) × 100/ CP
⇒ (21 – 14) × 100 / 14
⇒ 700/14 = 50%
∴ Profit% is 50%
