Answer:
The loss percentage is 50.61 %.
Explanation:
Cost price of 4 oranges = ₹ 10
Cost price of 1 orange = ₹ 10/4
Cost price of 5 oranges = ₹ 10
Cost price of 1 orange = ₹ 10/5 = ₹ 2
Total price = ₹ (2 + 10/4)
= ₹ 18/4
Selling price of 9 oranges = ₹ 20
Selling price of 1 orange = ₹ 20/9
Loss = C.P. - S.P. = 18/4 - 20/9
= 162 - 80 / 36
= 82/36 = 41/18
Loss percent = 41/18/18/4 × 100 %
= 41/18 × 4/18 × 100 %
= 50.61 % (ans).
