Question

A vendor buys lemons at ₹25 per dozen and sells them at the rate of 5 for ₹12. Find his gain or loss percent (plz solve in paper and send the answer)​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of 12 lemons (dozen) = Rs. 25

CP of one lemon = Rs. 2512

CP of five lemons = 5 × 2512 = 12512 = Rs. 10.42

SP of five lemons = Rs. 12            (given)

Gain = SP - CP = ( 12 - 10.42 ) = Rs 1.58

Gain% =(GainCP× 100)%

=(1.5810.42 × 100) %

= 15.2%

Answer 2

Solution:-

Cost price of 12 lemons = 1 dozen also=Rs.25

cost price of 1 lemon =Rs.(25/12)

price of 5 lemons =(25/12)×5=25/12

=Rs.10.42

He sold 5 lemons for =Rs.12

comparing SP and CP=SP>CP, so there is a gain of a person

Gain =Selling Price −Cost Price

=12 − 10.42

=Rs.1.58

The gain is =Rs.1.58

Gain %={(gain/Celling Price)×100}

={(1.58/10.42)×100}

={15800/1042}

=15.2%

The loss is =15.2%

The gain is 1.58 and loss is 15.2
