Question

2. Shilpa buys some pencils at the rate of 15 for /₹24 and sells them at the rate of 10 for ₹ 18. Find his loss or gain %.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of buying= 15 Rs. per 24 R

cost of 1R = 15/24 Rs

Rate of selling = Rs. 10 per 18 R

77

Cost of 1R = 10/18 Rs.

Gain/loss = s. p- c. p

= 10/18-15/24

= 40-45/72

= -5/72

so. s. p< c. p

so loss % = loss/c. px 100

= 5/72/15/24 × 100

= 100/9

= 11.11 (approx) (ans)
