$25 \div 100 \times 8 = 2 \\ 6 \times 2 = 12 \: bananas$

Answer 2

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Selling price of 8 bananas = 6.

Gain = 25%

Cost Price = [SP * 100]/[100 + Gain%]

                 = [6 * 100]/[100 + 25]

                 = [600/125]

                 = 25/4

So,

The cost price of 8 bananas = (24/5)

Then,

The price of 6 bananas = (8 * 5/24) * 6

                                       = (40/24) * 6

                                        = 10

Therefore,

He could buy 10 bananas.

Hope it helps!
