Question

A man sell 12 candies for rs 12 and loses rs 240..If he sells 12 candies for rs 15, how much does he loss or gain?

Answer 1

s. p. of 12 candies = rs. 144

loss = rs. 240

c.p. of 12 candies = 144+240

= rs.384

again,

s.p. of 12 candies = RS.15×12

rs 180

so, he will again face the loss by

(384-180) = rs.204
