Question

a vendor buys lemons at 25rupees per dozen and sells them at the rate of 5 for 12 rupees. Find his gain or loss per cent

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen= 12 lemons

12 lemons = 25 rupees

cost price of 12 lemons = 25 rupees

sell price of 12 lemons = (12/5)x12

sell price of 12 lemons = 28.8 rupees

here              sell price(sp)>cost price(cp)

hence gain= [(sp-cp)/cp]X100

                  =13.19%
