Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Let selling price of 1 orange = x.

Total oranges = 4

So, Selling price of 4 oranges = 4x.

Cost price of 36 oranges = 36x + 4x = 40x

Cost price > Selling price. Loss came.

Loss = CP - SP = 4x

Loss% = (Loss/CP) * 100

          = (4x/40x) * 100

          = 10%

Hence, Loss = 10%.

2.

Let selling price of one dozen pencils = x.

Total 8 dozen pencils.

So, selling price = 8x.

cost price = 8x - x = 7x.

Selling price > Cost price. So Gain.

Gain = 8x - 7x = x

Gain% = (Gain/CP) * 100

          = (x/7x) * 100

         = 100/7

         = 14.28%

Hence, Gain = 14.28% (or) 14(2/8)%

#Hope my answer helped you!
