Question

A man bought banana at the rate of 10 for ₹45 and sold at the rate of one dozen bananas For₹51 Find it's gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 10 bananas = Rs = 45

cost of 1 bananas =45/10 =4.5

selling price of 12 bananas=Rs.51

selling price 1 bananas =51/12 = 4.25

loss = cost price of 1 bananas - selling price of 1 bananas

=4.5 - 4.25

= 0.25

loss percentage =loss * 100/ cost price = 0.25 * 100/ 4.5

=25/ 4.5

= 5.55%
