Question

a vegetable vendor purchased lemons at rs 20 per dozen. He sells them at a loss of 10 percent. Find the selling price of half a dozen lemons

Answer 1

$\textbf{\huge{\underline{ Hello Mate! }}}$

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

$\textsf{\red{SP of 6 lemons is Rs 9 }}$

$\textbf{ Have great future ahead! }$
