Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

5.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one banana(CP)-4.5(45/10)

CP of one dozen bananas =4.5x12=54

SP of one dozen bananas = 51

Loss = CP - SP

= 54-51

=3

Loss percent = (Loss/CP)X100

= 3/54 x 100

= 100/18

=5.56%
