Question

a vegetable vendor purchase lemons at rupees 20% doesn't he sells them at a loss of 10% find the selling price of half a dozen lemons ​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of 12 lemons = Rs 20

Since Loss =10%

Then actual loss is Rupess = 20 ×10/100 = Rs 2

Since SP = CP - Loss

= Rs 20 - Rs 2 = Rs 18

Selling Price of 12 lemons= Rs 18

Half a dozen means 6 lemons.

SP of 1 lemon = Rs 18 / 12

SP of 6 lemons= Rs 18/12 × 6= Rs 9
