Question

A fruit seller sold a basket of fruits at 15% loss. Had he sold it for Rs. 120 more, he would have made a 15% gain. What is the loss in Rupees incurred by the fruit seller.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = 10%x

Loss=12.5%x

-12.5%x + 108 =10%x

22.5x or 225/1000 of x =108

108*1000/225 =x

480 =x

Means ₹480 was cost price

Now

Loss=12.5% of 480

125/1000*480=60

Thus ₹60 was loss

Answer 2

60rps loss for the seller
