Answer 1

Answer:

Cost prise=25

selling price = (12/5) x 12=28.8

selling price is greater than cost prise

Profit percentage is

$\frac{28.5 - 25}{25} \times 100 \\ 3.8 \times 4 \\ \\ 15.2$

Answer 2

Answer:

A vendor buys lemons at 25rs per dozen and sells them at the Rate of 5for 12rs.find his gain or loss per cent?Solution :

            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
