Ques:- If he sells 40 mangoes, he will get the selling price of 4 mangoes extra, What is his percentage increase in profit ?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:06:

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

Recent Answer : Added by Michael Torcaso On 2022-08-14 16:28:58:

Let d = 7r. And use distance is = rate × time
7r= ( r+12) 5
7r= 5r + 60
Subtract 5r from both sides
2r = 60
Divide out 2
Rate = 30 km/h
Original question 30 km/h × 7 = 210
30 +12 = 42× 5 = 210

let H be present age of husaband.W be present age of wife.
H+W=91.
now let diff between their ages be x.that is H-W=x.
now when husband is W yaers old, his wife must be W-x years
old.and it is given that H=2(W-x). so 2W-H=2x. and H-
W=x.eliminating x we get 4W=3H. but H+W=91, so solving thse
two H=52 W=39.
