Question

A vendor buy lemon at rupees 25 per dozen and sell them at the rate of 5 for rupees 12 what his gain or loss percent

Answer 1

a vendor buys lemons at 25per dozen and sells them at the rate of 5 for 12 .

The profit is equal to the amount the lemons are sold for minus the amount the vendor paid for them. We will call the price in dollars. Therefore, we can write:


profit per lemon=(12/5)-(25/12)

profit per lemon=(19/60) or .32 per lemon


The percentage gain or lost will be equal to [(profit per lemon)/(paid per lemon)]*100. Therefore, we can write:


percentage= (19/60)/(25/12) *100= 15.2%


15.2% is the percent gained.

Answer 2

Hello friend

1 dozen = 12 pieces

12 lemons = 25 rupees

1 lemon = 25 /12

= 2.08 rupees

HE SELLS AT A RATE OF 12 FOR 5 LEMONS

therefore , 1 lemon = 12/5

= 2.4 rupees

1 dozen lemon = 28.8 rupees

gain or loss percent = amount increase or decrease /original amount × 100

= 28.8 - 25 /25 × 100

= 3.8/25 × 100

= 0.152 × 100

= 15.2 % gain
