Question

A vandor bought bananas at 6 for Rs10 and sold them for 4 at Rs 6. Find his gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

$cp \: of \: 6 \: banana = 10 \: rs$

$cp \: of \: 1 \: banana = \frac{10}{6} rs = 1.667 \: rs$

$sp \: of \: 4 \: banana = 6 \: rs$

$sp \: of \: 1 \: banana = \frac{6}{4} rs. = 1.5 \: rs$

$since.cp \: of \: 1 \: banana \: greater \: than \: sp \: of \: 1 \: banana$

$therefore$

$loss\% \frac{cp - sp}{cp} \times 100$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{1.667 - 1.5}{1.667} \times 100 = 10\%$
