Question

A man purchased some bananas 3 for ₹ 12 and sold then at 5 for ₹ 15. Find gain% or loss%.

Answer 1

CP of each banana is , 12/3 = 4
SP of each banana is, 15/5 = 3
CP is greater then SP
loss = CP - sp
= 4 - 3
= 1
loss = 1/4*100
= 25 %

Answer 2

cp of each banana =3/12=Rs.4
so of each banana =5/15=Rs.3
loss=cp-sp
loss=4-3=Rs.1
loss %=4/1*100=25%
man make loss of 25%
