Question

2 .400 mangoes were purchased at 125 per hundred and sold at a loss of 100. Find the
S.P. of one dozen mangoes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN : Cost Price of 100 mangoes = Rs 125 and total no of mangoes = 400

SOLUTION :  

100 mangoes = Rs 125  

1 mango = Rs x  

THUS,

=> x = Rs (125*1)/100

=> x = Rs 1.25  

THEREFORE,  

400 mangoes = Rs (1.25) * (400) = Rs 500  

NOW, SINCE  

Cost Price of 400 mangoes is Rs 500,

THUS,

 

If he sells at a loss of Rs 100,

THEREFORE,

Cost Price = Rs 500 - Rs 100 = Rs 400,

THUS,  

Selling Price of 1 mango = Rs 400/400 = Re 1  

SO,

Selling Price of a dozen (12) mangoes = Re(1 * 12) = Rs 12  

THUS,

Selling Price of a dozen mangoes = Rs 12  (ANS)
