Answer 1

Answer:

Akhil is fish vendor, he has total 12kg of fish, he lost actually and loss percentage is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Akhil bough fish let us consider it as cost price that is⇒140×12=1680 rupees

so he spent 120 rupees

so the total cost price became 1680+120=1800 rupees.

in that 4kg fish was spoilt so 12kg-4kg=8kg

so now the selling price for per kg of fish is 180 rupees

for 8kg of fish =180*8=1440 rupees.

so loss is cp-s.p that is 360 rupees,1800-1440

let us calculate loss percentage=loss/c.p×100=20%
