Question

a fruit seller purchased apples at the rate of Rs 20 per dozen per Rs 56 and sold them at the rate of Rs 35 per dozen Find out his gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

his percent will be

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of oranges bought = LCM of 20 and 12=60.

C.P. of 20 oranges = Rs.56  

∴ C.P. of 1 orange = Rs. 2056

Hence the C.P. of 60 oranges = Rs.(2056×60)= Rs. 168

S.P. of 12 oranges = Rs. 35 

∴ S.P. of 1 orange = Rs. 1235

Hence, the S.P. of 60 oranges = (1235×60)=Rs.175 

Thus C.P. = Rs.168 and S.P. = Rs. 175

Since (S.P.) > (C.P.) the vendor has made a gain

Gain =(175−168)= Rs. 7  

∴ Gain % = (C.P.Gain×100)%=(1687×100)%=625%

We can see that, p=25 and q=6

Thus, p−q=25−6=19
