a grocers buy 480 loaves of bread at ₹216 per dozen he sells them at a loss of 10%,find the selling price of 15 loaves of bread​

Answer 1

C.P. of 480/12 loaves of bread is 40*216= 8640
profit=15%
s.p.=(100+gain%)/100 * C.P.
=100+15/100*8640
=9936= s.p. of 480 loaves of bread
s.p. of 1 bread =20.7
s.p. of 15 bread =20.7*15= 310.5





Or




cost of a loaf of bread =216/12
=₹18
P%=15
Profit =15%of 216
=15/100*216
=₹32.4
.°.s.p of 480 loaves of bread=
₹(216+32.4)
=₹248.4
S.p of 1 loaf of bread=248.4/480
=₹0.51
SP of 15 loaves of bread =₹7.65
