Answer 2

Dozens of banana he bought=30

no. of bananas he bought=30×12=360

total cost=30=12=Rs.360

rotten bananas=5×12=60

lost bananas=2.5×12=30

bananas left=360-(60+30)=360-90=270

dozen of bananas left=270÷12=22.5

he sold for=22.5×15=Rs.337.5

loss=360-337.5=Rs.22.5

loss percent=22.5/360×100

=225/36

=6.25%

Hence, your answer is 6.25%
