A man buys 120 oranges at 6 a rupee and 12atmore at 5 a rupee and he sold the whole lot for 4 a rupee. What was his total profit and profit % ?

Question

Ans- Rs16, 36 4/11%

Please help me to get the right solution of it.

Answer 1

cost: (120 * 1/6) + (120 * 1/5) = 44
sales: (120+120)/4 = 60

profit: 60-44=16
% profit = 60/44 = 15/11

15/11 - 1 = 4/11 = .3636 = 36 4/11 %

It makes it harder to arrive at the solution when you have typos in the problem...
