Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is your answer

Answer 2

Oranges purchased=26 dozen.

Price per dozen= 75 Rs.

Total cost price= 26 * 75= 1950 rs.

cost of one orange =  6.25 rs.

Oranges spoiled=29

Oranges remaining= 312 - 29 = 283

Total number of oranges= 283

Total selling price= 1415 rs/-

a) Selling price per orange=1415 / 283 = 5 rs.

b) s.p - c.p = 1415 - 1950= -535 rs.

   therefore, loss = 535 rs.

loss percentage = ( loss *100)/c.p

                           = ( 535 * 100)/1950

                          = 27.5 percentage
