Question

a shopkeeper bought orange for 5 rupees per dozen .He had to sell them at a loss of 4 percent. . Find the S.P of one orange​

Answer 1

Answer:

cp=₹5

loss%=4

sp=?

loss%=loss/cp*100

loss%*cp/100=loss

4*5/100=loss

₹0.2=loss

loss=cp-sp

sp=cp-loss

sp=5-0.2

sp=₹4.8

Answer 2

Cost of 12 oranges = Rs. 5

Loss after selling 12 oranges = Rs. 4

C.P - S.P = Loss

Rs. (5 - S.P) = Rs. 4

S.P = Rs. 1

Therefore, selling price of 12 oranges = Rs. 1

Selling price of 1 orange = Rs.

$\frac{1}{12}$

= Rs. 0.083
