Answer 1

Answer:

4% Loss

Step-by-step explanation:

A man buy apples at certain price at per dozen

Let say Man buy apples at Price   12X per Dozen

=> Price of 1 Apple  = 12X/12 = X

Let say He buy 100Y Apples

then Total Cost Price = 100XY

He sells them at  8 times the price per hundren

8 time the price = 12X * 8 = 96X  Per 100

100 Apples sold for 96X

100Y Apples sold for  96XY

Loss = 100XY - 96XY = 4XY

Loss % = (4XY/100XY) * 100  = 4%

4% Loss
