Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CP=

100

400

×125=500

SP=CP−100=500−100=400

Now, each mango is sold for

400

400

=Rs.1

1 Dozen=12 Mangoes=12×1=Rs.12

Hence, Selling Price of 1 Dozen mangoes is =Rs.12

Answer 2

Number of Mangoes sold = 400
Price per 100 = ₹125
Loss = ₹100
SP = ?

We know that there are 4 hundreds in 400 so: 125 x 4 = 500
So 400 mangoes were purchased for ₹500
Loss amount = ₹100
SP = CP - Loss amount
SP = 500 - 100
SP = ₹400
