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.

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?

Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft

Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.

Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32

1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Fencing cost = Perimeter * fencing cost = 96 * 4.5 = 432

Total Cost = 432 + 1024 = 1456

1×2×…100=100!
Number of zeros in product of n numbers =[5n​]+[52n​]+[53n​]+…
Number of zeros in product of 100 numbers =[5100​]+[52100​]+[53100​]
where [.] is greatest integer function
=[20]+[4]+[0.8]=20+4=24

length of the base=3 times height
b=3h;
h=b/3;
so, 1/2bh=24
1/2b(b/3)=24
(b^2)/6=24
b^2=144
b=12

In the example first we have to find the area of the field

we have given the following values ,

cost of fencing per meter = Rs 1.50

Diameter of circular field = 28

We have to find the area , a = ?

We know that,

Area = 2 π r

= 2 x 22/7 x 14

= 2 x 22 x 2

= 44 x 2

= 88 sq. m

So, area of circle is 88 sq.m

Now just multiply it with 1.50

cost of fencing = 88 x 1.50

= Rs. 132

So, the cost of fencing the circular field is Rs. 132
