Question

2. Suresh buys lemons at 6 for a rupee and an equal number at 9 for a ru
together and sells the whole lot at 8 for a rupee. Find his gain or loss per​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of lemons = x

Cost Price = 6x + 9x = 15x

Selling Price = (2x) × 8 = 16x

Profit = S.P - C.P = 16x - 15x = x

Profit% = x/15x*100=6.67

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the LCM of 6,9,8 which is 18

let's take case one:

6/1*18= ₹108

2 case:

9/1*18= ₹162

Total CP= 162+108=270

Total SP= 8/1*36= 288

As the SP>CP, there is a gain of ₹ 18

%= 18/270*100

=6.67%

Hope it helps!☺️
