Cost price of 12 mangoes is equal to the selling price of 9 mangoes,   Let the C.P. of one mango = Re. 1   C.P. of 9 mangoes = Rs. 9   S.P. of 9 mangoes = Rs. 12   Profit % of 9 mangoes = 3/9 x 100 = 33.33 %   Profit % of 1 mango = 33.33/9 = 3.703 %   Profit % of 5 mangoes = 3.703 x 5 = 18.51 %   Given, the discount on 10 mangoes is equal to the profit on 5 mangoes,   Discount on 10 mangoes = 18.51 %   Discount on 1 mango = 1.851 %   Therefore, Profit % of 1 mango - Discount on 1 mango = 3.703 - 1.851 = 1.85 %   ANSWER:1.85 %
