Question

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

Answer 1

CP=125

CP=4*125

=500

LOSS=100

SP=CP+LOSS

=100+500

=600

COST OF 1DOZEN OF SP= 12/600

=50

Answer 2

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{12 \: Rupees}}}}$

______________________

Total Mangoes bought = $\mathsf{400}$

Price of 100 Mangoes = $\mathsf{125}$

Price of 1 Mango = $\\\mathsf{\frac{125}{100} = 1.25 \: Rupees}$

Price of 400 Mangoes = $\mathsf{400 \times 0.8 = 500}$

______________________

We know that,

Selling Price = Cost Price - Loss

_______________________

=> S.P = 500 - 100

=> $\large\mathsf{S.P = 400}$

_______________________

Now, S.P of 1 Mango =

$\mathsf{\frac{S.P \:of\: Mangoes}{Total\: No. \:of \:Mangoes}}$

$\mathsf{=> \frac{400}{400} = 1}$

_______________________

We know that,

1 dozen = 12

_______________________

S.P of 12 Mangoes = $\mathsf{S.P \:of \:1 \:Mango \times 12 = 12\: Rupees}$
