Solution

$Selling price of 5 apples = Rs . 125 So, Seliing price of 1 apple = \frac{125}{5} = Rs . 25 . Let the C . P be Rs . x . We know, Profit % = \frac{Profit}{C . P} \times 100 25 = \frac{25 - x}{x} \times 100 \frac{25}{100} = \frac{25 - x}{x} \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25 - x}{x} x = 100 - 4 x 5 x = 100 x = Rs . 20 Now, Selling price of 6 apples = Rs . 132 Selling price of 1 apple = \frac{132}{6} = Rs . 22 New Profit = S . P - C . P = 22 - 20 = Rs . 2 Profit % = \frac{2}{20} \times 100 = 10 % He makes a profit percent of 10 .$
