Question

A fruit vendor buys oranges at 6 for 10 rupees and equal number at 10 for 20 rupees he mixes them and sells at 21.60 per dozen find his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P of 6 oranges = Rs 10

C.P of 10 oranges = Rs 20

Total C.P of 16 oranges = Rs 30

C.P of 1 orange = 30/16 = 1.875

S.P of 12 orange = 21.6

S.P of 1 orange = 21.6/12 = 1.8

Loss = C.P - S.P = 1.875-1.8 = 0.075

Loss% = 0.075*100/1.875 = 4%
