Answer / francis
cost price(c.p) of one fruit = 24/16
(c.p) = Rs 1.50
selling price(s.p) of one fruit = 18/8
(s.p) =Rs 2.25
profit for one fruit = 2.25 - 1.50 = 0.75
profit
profit % = ----------- * 100
cost price
0.75
= ------- * 100
1.50

Answer / vishal
buying price per fruit is = 24/16= 1.5
selling price per fruit is =18/8=2.25
profit per fruit=2.25-1.5=.75
so profit on 16 fruit is=16*.75=12
so 12 is the 50% of 24
so total profit is 50%

Answer / ramyashree
cost of 16 fruits=RS.24 therefore 1.5 each
8 fruits sold for Rs.18(a) therefore 2.25 each
8 fruits unsold costing 1.50 each c.p=Rs.12(b)
profit=a-b=6
profit percentage = 6/24*100= 25%
Ans is 25%

Answer / vaishnavi
C.P of 16 = 24,
S.P of 8 = 18,
C.P of 8 = 24/2 = 12
Profit %= (Profit /S.P)*100
= ((18-12)/18)*100
= (6/18)*100
= 100/4
= 25%

Answer / suchi teegala
cp of 16 fruits =rs.24/-
so each fruit costs = 24 /16= 1.5/- per fruit
sp of 8 fruits= rs.18/-
so each fruit costs 18/8= 2.25/- per fruit
profit= sp-cp
=2.25-1.5
=0.75
25%
