Question

A man bought bananas at rate of 10 for ₹45 and sold at rate of one dozen bananas for ₹51. Find his gain and loss per cent

Answer 1

Hey......!! here is ur answer.....

cost price of 10 bananas = 45rs

then C.S. of 1 banana = 45/10rs

Now, Selling Price of 1 dozen = 12 bananas = 51

then S.P. of 1 banana = 51/12rs

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

Loss = 45/10–51/12

Loss = (45×6–51×5)/60

Loss = (270–255)/60

Loss = 15/60 = 1/4

Now, Loss% = (Loss/C.P.)×100

Loss% = (1/4/45/10)×100

Loss% = (10/4×45)×100 = 250/45

Loss% = 50/9

I hope it will help you.....✌️✌️✌️
