Question

a fruit seller buys to dozens of Apple at the rate of 4.50 per apple however the apples turn bad the stable han buys the apple for his horse at 1.50 each find the profit or loss made by the fruit seller​

Answer 1

Answer:

loss = Rs. 72 and %loss = 66 2/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen =12

2 dozens = 12×2

= 24

CP of each apple = Rs. 4.50

So, CP of 2 dozens apples = Rs. 4.50×24

= Rs. 108.00

= Rs. 108

SP of each apple = Rs. 1.50

So, SP of 2 dozens apples = Rs. 1.50× 24

= Rs. 36.00

= Rs. 36

Here CP > SP, So there is loss.

Now , Loss = Rs. 108 - Rs.36

=Rs. 72

And %loss = 72/108 ×100%

$= > percent \: loss = \frac{72}{108} \times 100\%$

$= > percent \: loss = \frac{2}{3} \times 100\%$

$= > percent \: loss \: = \frac{200}{3} \%$

$= > percent \: loss = 66 \frac{2}{3} \%$
