He bought 10 bananas for 45
Hence Cost price of 1 banana = 45/10= 4.5
He sold the bananas for 51 per 12 Banana
Selling price of 1 banana = 51/12 = 4.25
Hence a loss of 4.5-4.25 = 0.25 per banana
loss percent= loss/cost price *100
= 0.25/4.5 *100
= 5.556 % loss
Hence Cost price of 1 banana = 45/10= 4.5
He sold the bananas for 51 per 12 Banana
Selling price of 1 banana = 51/12 = 4.25
Hence a loss of 4.5-4.25 = 0.25 per banana
loss percent= loss/cost price *100
= 0.25/4.5 *100
= 5.556 % loss
