Question

A stationer purchased 5 dozen pens at Rs. 25 per piece and sold at Rs. 24 per piece. Find his/her loss and loss percent.

Answer 1

Answer:60 and 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

               1 dozen = 12

              5*12 = 60

            60*25 = 1500

     therefore, the C.P of 5 dozen of pen is RS 1500.

Now,

To find the S.P of 5 dozen of pens

We know,

            1 dozen = 12

              5*12 = 60

              60*24 = 1440

Therefore, S.P of 5 dozen of pens is RS 1440.

Now,

To find loss amount

Loss = C.P-S.P

Loss = 1500 - 1440

Loss = 60

Therefore, loss is RS 60

Loss percent

To find loss percent

We know

Loss % = Loss/C.P * 100

Loss % = 60/1500*100

Loss % = 4

Therefore loss percent is 4.
