Question

A fruit merchant purchased 50 dozen on Apple for RS 30 dozen after then he found that three dozen of Apple were rotten and were not able to sell and the rest also not too well so he sold the rest for Rs 15 person dozen.find his total loss in total loss percent​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

At Rs. 50 per dozen, he paid Rs. 300 for 6 dozen apples. To make a profit of 10%, he should receive Rs. 330.

Now, since half a dozen (6) apple are rotten, he should get the above amount with 5.5 dozens. So he should sell at (330/5.5) per dozen. That is Rs. 60 per dozen

Answer 2

Answer:

53%

Step-by-step explanation:

50 dozens for rs 30 a dozen, so CP = 50*30 = 1500 rs

he sold 47 dozens for rs 15 a dozen, so SP = 47*15 = 705 rs

therefore loss = 1500-705 = 795

therefore loss % = 795/1500*100 = 53%
