Question

a vedor bought bananas at 6 for rs 24 and sold them at 4₹20 .find his gain or loss percent.

Answer 1

Hello,

Cp of 6 bananas = rs 24
So
By unitary method
Cp of 1 banana = 24 ÷6 = rs4

Now,
Cp of 4 banana = rs 4*4 =rs 16

Now
Given that
Sp of 4 bananas = rs 20

Hence ,
Sp is greater than Cp
There is a profit.
Profit = sp - cp = 20 - 16 = rs 4

Now ,

Profit percent is equal to
$p\% = ( \frac{profit}{cp} \times 100)$
So,

Getting the profit percentage :-

$p\% = ( \frac{4}{16} \times 100) \\ \\ = \frac{100}{4} \\ \\ = 25\%$

Hence,

The profile percentage is equal to 25%
