Question

A fruitseller bought 200 oranges for
120 a score. He found that 25 oranges
were rotten. He sold the remaining
oranges for 5 each. Find his profit or
loss percentage.​

Answer 1

$\huge\star\underline\mathfrak\green{Answer:-}$

1 score = 20 units

Find the total cost price:

20 oranges = Rs 120

1 orange = 120 ÷ 20 = Rs 6

200 oranges = 6 x 200 = Rs 1200

Find the total revenue:

Total oranges sold = 200 - 25 = 175

1 orange = Rs 5

175 oranges = 175 x 5 = Rs 875

Find the profit / loss:

Since cost price > selling price ⇒ It is a loss

Loss = 1200 - 875 = Rs 325

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = loss/cost price x 100

Loss percentage =325/1200 x 100 = 27%

Answer: The loss percentage is 27%

1 orange = Rs 5

175 oranges = 175 x 5 = Rs 875

Find the profit / loss:

Loss = 1200 - 875 = Rs 325

Find the loss percentage:

Loss percentage = loss/cost price x 100
