Question

2010,66. A seller sells boxes of assorted dry fruits at a discount of 20 % on the list price of Rs
180 per box. If the cost price is Rs 150 per box, then the seller makes :
(A) a profit of 10 %
(C) a loss of 6 %
(B) neither profit nor loss
(D) a loss of 4 %.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Discounted selling price is

$.80 \times 180 = 144$

since it's less than cost price, he is selling it on loss

loss percentage is

$\frac{150 - 144}{150} \times 100 = 4\%$
