Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\red{\textbf{Given :-}}$

$C.P \: of \: 1 \: apple =$

$Rs .\LARGE\frac{75}{10}\small = Rs7.5$

$S.P \: of \: one \: apple \: =$

$Rs \LARGE\frac{75}{12}\small = Rs6.25$

$\red{\textbf{To find :-}}$

$\red{\textbf{gain or loss percent}}$

$Therefore,$

$LOSS=7.5−6.25$

$LOSS=Rs.1.25$

$LOSS (\%) = \LARGE\frac{1.25}{7.5} \small\times 100$

$LOSS(\%) = 16.67\%$
