(i) Selling price of each mango
(ii) S.P of $8$ mangoes.

Answer 1

$20$ mangoes purchasing price $=60$

Profit %$=33\frac{1}{3}$%

$=\frac{100}{3}$%

So selling price of magoes

$=60+\frac{60\times \frac{100}{3}}{100}$

$=60+\frac{60\times 100}{3}\times \frac{1}{100}$

$=60+20$

$=80$

Selling price of each mango - 20 mangoes selling price $=80$

$1$ Mango selling price $=\frac{80}{20}$

$=4$ Answer

Selling price of 8 mangoes - 20 mangoes selling price $=80$

one mango selling price $=\frac{80}{20}$

So 8 mangoes selling price

$=\frac{80}{20}\times 8$

$=32$ answer
