Answer 1

Answer:    Hence his gain is 56.25 %   :   Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

A fruit seller bought I dozen bananas for 96

Means, 12 bananas for 96.

So, 1 banana cost : $\frac{96}{12}=8$

He sells 8 bananas for 100

So, sell price of 1 banana : $\frac{100}{8}=12.5$

So, cost price of 1 banana is 8 and sell price of 1 banana is 12.5

So, profit is : $12.5-8=4.5$

So, percentage of profit will be : $\frac{4.5*100}{8}$

So, percentage of profit will be : $56.25$%

Hence his gain is 56.25 %   :   Answer
