Answer 1

****cost price = 200 oranges for 1000 rupees

*****one orange cost is = 1000÷200 = 5 rupees

one dozen orange cost price = 5×12 = 60

selling price of one dozen(12) oranges = 54 rupees

54÷12 = 4.5 rupees each

so 200 oranges selling price = 4.5 ×200 =900

$lossper = \: \: \:\frac{loss \times 100}{c.p}$

$lossper = \: \: \:\frac{loss \times 100}{c.p} \\ \\ \\ \frac{100 \times 100}{1000} = 10$
loss% = 10%
