Question

a vendor buy lemon forRs25/ per dozen and sell them@5 for Rs12/
Find the loss or gained percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:cost price  of 12 lemons ( in  Rupees) = 25

            therefore , cost price of one lemon(in Rupees) = 25 / 12

                hence cost price of 5 lemons = 5*25/12

                                                            =125/12

                                                            =10.416

          Selling price of 5 lemons (in Rupees) =  12

          

Since the S.P of 5 lemons is more than C.P. hence the vendor has gain.

Therefore ,

Gain %  =  S.P - C.P/C.P*100

            =12 - 10.416/10.416*100

      Gain %     = 15.2
