Question

a fruit seller buys a basket of 100 oranges in 250 rs and sells them rs 27 per dozen find percent loss or profit

Answer 1

CP of 100 oranges= Rs 250
SP of 12 oranges= Rs 27
SP of 1 orange= 27/12
SP of 100 orange= 27/12 ×100= Rs 225
Loss= 250-225= Rs 25
L%= (25/250×100)%
= 10%
Hope it helps

Answer 2

100-4=96/12=8 dozen +4 orange extra
8*27=216
27/12=2.25*4=9
total money as per 27 per dozen
216+9=225
loss percent =250-225/250=25/250=1/10=0.1*100=10%
