a fruit vendor buys oranges at 6 of rs 10 and an equal number at 10 rs 20. he mixes them and sells at rs21.60 per dozen. find his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

Answer: There is a loss percentage of 1.81%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A fruit vendor has to purchase equal number of oranges .

And we have selling price of per dozen = Rs. 21.60

So, it means ,

He purchased 6 oranges each from two cases.

From First case:

Cost of 6 orange = Rs. 10

From Second case:

Cost of 10 oranges = Rs. 20

Cost of 6 oranges is given by

$\frac{20}{10}\times 6\\\\=Rs.12$

So, Total cost of 1 dozen becomes

$10+12=Rs.22$

Now, We can see that

Cost price > Selling price

So, there is a loss.

We need to find the loss percentage.

$Loss=Cost-Selling\\\\loss=22-21.60\\\\Loss=0.40$

and Loss % is given by

$Loss\%=\frac{Loss}{Cost}\times 100\\\\Loss\%=\frac{0.40}{22}\times 100\\\\Loss\%=1.81\%$

Hence, there is a loss percentage of 1.81%.
