0.50 * 100/3.50 after that how we will get 100%/7?

C.P of 100 oranges = 350,
S.P of 100 oranges = 48 per dozen,
48/12 = 4.
S.P of 100 oranges = 100 X 4 = 400,
Then, difference is 400 - 350 = 50,
50/350 X 100 = 14.27 Ans.

100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350.
1 dozen = 48.
= 100/12 = 8.33.
= 8.33*48 = 400.
= 350*14.2% = 400.
Answer : 14 2/7%.
1 dozen = 48.
= 100/12 = 8.33.
= 8.33*48 = 400.
= 350*14.2% = 400.

1 dozen = 12.
C.P of 100 oranges = 350.
S.P of 12 oranges = 48.
C.P of 12 oranges = (350/100)*12 = 42.
Profit percentage = (48-42)/42*100 = 14 2/7.
C.P of 100 oranges = 350.
S.P of 12 oranges = 48.
C.P of 12 oranges = (350/100)*12 = 42.
Profit percentage = (48-42)/42*100 = 14 2/7.

Here 100 oranges =350.
So c.p of 100 oranges =350.
S.p= 48/12=4.
1 orange of s.p is 4 rupees and 100 oranges of s.p is 400,
We know the formula p= 400-350=50,
%p=50/350*100=100/7,
I.e 100/7= 14*2/7.
So c.p of 100 oranges =350.
S.p= 48/12=4.
1 orange of s.p is 4 rupees and 100 oranges of s.p is 400,
We know the formula p= 400-350=50,
%p=50/350*100=100/7,
I.e 100/7= 14*2/7.

Cp of 100 org = 350.
Cp of 1 org = 350/100 = 3.5,
Cp of dozen = 12 * 3.5 = 42,
Sp of dozen = 48.
P = sp - cp = 48 - 42 = 6,
P% = p/cp* 100,
P% = 6/42 * 100 = 14.
Cp of 1 org = 350/100 = 3.5,
Cp of dozen = 12 * 3.5 = 42,
Sp of dozen = 48.
P = sp - cp = 48 - 42 = 6,
P% = p/cp* 100,
P% = 6/42 * 100 = 14.

Totally 100 oranges total amount 350.
Sold 12 as 48 one as 48/12=4 so 100 sold as 400.
Profit 400-350 = 50.
Profit % = 50/350*100 = 100/7 = 14 2/7%.
Sold 12 as 48 one as 48/12=4 so 100 sold as 400.
Profit 400-350 = 50.
Profit % = 50/350*100 = 100/7 = 14 2/7%.
