A. ₦125
B. ₦150
C. ₦140
D. ₦145
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
According to the question,
Cost price of the mixture
= 15 × 29 + 25 × 20
= ₦935
Selling price of the mixture

= ₦1080
Profit = Selling price – Cost price
Profit = 1080 – 935 = ₦145
12). Adamu the fruit seller buys some oranges and by selling 40% of them he realizes the cost price of all the oranges. As the oranges being to grow over-ripe, he reduces the price and sells 80% of the remaining oranges at half the previous rate of profit. The rest of the oranges being rotten are thrown away. The overall percentage of profit is:
A. 80
B. 84
C. 94
D. 96
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Let fruit seller buys 100 oranges for ₦100
On selling of 40% of the oranges he realizes his cost price i.e. He sells 40 oranges for ₦100
Profit on 40 Oranges = 100 – 40 = ₦60
% profit on 40 oranges = 60×100/40 = 150%
Now, he sells 80% of 60 oranges on half of the previous profit i.e. 48 oranges, he sells at 75% of profit
So, SP of 48 oranges = 48 + 75% of 48 = 84
12 was rotten so he threw away.
Total SP = 100 + 84 = ₦184
Profit = 184 – 100 = 84
%Profit = 84%
