Answer 1

let the CP of per kg fruits be x

subsequently it became,

profit=SP-CP

        =51x-50x

        =x

Profit%=P/CP*100%

          =x/50x*100%

          =2%

So, the profit% is 2%

solved

           

Answer 2

Answer:

2% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

x = price

50kg = 50x

30kg => 35x

20kg => 16x

35x + 16x = 51x

51x - 50x = x

50x .............. 100%

x ...................... p%

p = 1×100/50 = 100/50 = 2%
