Answer 1

Solution:-

C.P of 1 apple =Rs.

10/75 =Rs.7.5

S.P of 1 apple =Rs.

12/75 =Rs.6.25

Therefore,

LOSS=7.5−6.25

LOSS=Rs.1.25

LOSS(%)= 7.5/1.25 ×100

LOSS(%)=16.67%

Hence, this is the answer.

Answer 2

C.P of 1 apple =Rs75/10= Rs 7.5

S.P of 1 apple = Rs75/12=Rs6.25

Therefore,

loss = Rs 1.25

loss % = 1.25/7.5×100

loss% = 16.67%

hence, this is the answer
