Question

8. a fruit vendor buys oranges at 6 for ₹10 and an equal number at 10 for ₹20. He mixes them and sells at ₹21.60 per dozen. Find his gain or loss per cent.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say he buys 60 oranges for ₹600 and 60 for ₹120(because cost of 10 is ₹20)

Sells at ₹21.60 for 12.

or at ₹216 for 120.

Hence CP=600+120=720

(Qty=120)

and SP=216(Qty=120)

So loss=720-216=₹504

and loss%=(504/720)*100

=70%
